"For the last 3 days" It's becoming more common. I've noticed this happening at many box junctions in London where right turns are permitted. "As far as I am aware, the highway code rule174 has not changed" The law hasn't changed but what has changed is driver behaviour as a result of the fear of being caught on camera. Virginia's post above sums this up. Drivers intending to turn right from SCR onto the A4 westbound are afraid to enter and stop in the box in case they are caught on camera. Whether this box junction is monitored by cameras is immaterial. Some drivers also stay out of bus lanes even when the bus lane is not operating for the same reason. I used to use this junction for a daily commute to Windsor in 1990-92 and there was a filter arrow for right turning traffic back then, which was subsequently removed. The 2012 proposals by TfL for improving this junction appear to have been abandoned or forgotten.
