FOI request detail

Revenue TFL received in penalties charges on yellow box junctions

Request ID: FOI-2895-1819
Date published: 11 February 2019

You asked

Under the FOI Act how many millions of pounds has TFL received in penalties charges on yellow box junctions as I have noticed that there is no blue warning signs warning drivers that there is a yellow box ahead and you have just admitted to me that all the blue warning signs have been removed owing to street clutter on lamp posts therefore making the yellow box junctions unenforceable under the Road traffic signs act or do TFL work under a different law of the United Kingdom.

We answered
