Do you BLOCK THE BOX?

[AviatorTom]

I had to pick someone up at the airport today and the roads I took had several intersection with DON'T BLOCK THE BOX signs.

I didn't block any of the intersections but several other cars did.

When you drive, do you ever block the box?

Well thats not a very nice way to refer to part of a woman’s body, but I suppose it depends on who precisely is trying to get in? I mean if it’s my fiancé, then NO, NEVER! He gets to “enter the box” whenever he wants, I’ve never said no to him since we became sexually active, and I never will. But for anyone else, the box is locked I’m afraid! Y’all had your chance before I was engaged. Snooze you loose. ¯\_(ッ)_/¯
LOL 🤣

You have to be careful in UK cities as many are covered by camera which automatically dish out a heavy fine if you stop even an inch inside. Many are so large drivers argue its hard to see if your exit is clear and impossible to progress without risking a fine.

Not common my neck of the woods but when I've drove through other areas I've found them very stressful.

Here that is expressed by a rule that says do not enter an intersection unless the road is clear enough that you can exit the other side without stopping. Yet people do it all the time. I have seen emergency vehicles having to get very tricky to get past those idiots.

I've never seen such signs but I don't block intersections.

I very much try not to, however there’s so many people on the road that don’t know road rules it’s insane. I just into a left turn accident back in December (not my fault), and I noticed how many people think they are entitled to turn left first as if a road rule states left turn vehicles don’t have the right away.

I’ll be honest, I’m not even 100% sure what you are asking here. I try really hard not to drive near the airport. Taxis it is. Ir my dad drives us.

@loves2learn In many states and some other countries, there is a cross-hatched box painted on the road at some intersections, with a sign that says "Don't Block the Box". That's done so that heavy traffic doesn't block the intersection and prevent other cars from entering and crossing the intersection. If caught, the driver is usually hit with a heavy fine traffic ticket.

I try to avoid it at all costs, but today for example it happened. I drive a box truck and was coming up to a red light where there was an intersection near. I had plenty of space coming up to the light, but at the last second someone cut me off and slammed on brakes. I ended up having my tailgate caught in the section and fella was pissed because he lost his turn as a result.

[OfMiceandMen]

I do not, unless some ass pulls in front of me making a right hand turn. Can't anticipate that thought.

[juliammm]

LOL you have to add road signs for such a trivial rule!

[exitseven]

Sometimes if I beat a red light and end up in an intersection there is no place to go. Oh Well.

[DrPepper12]

Hell no!! Between the cameras and cops in Manhattan youd be a FOOL to invite those PUNITIVE fines!!!

[msc545]

I wouldn't block it but almost everyone else will.

[NathanDavis]

no...
