Change highway code rules relating to priority for turning right at junctions
Amend the Highway Code so vehicles turning right into a road must give way to vehicles turning right out of that road (except at dedicated filter lanes). This would establish a new junction priority system which we think would reduce driver confusion & frustration, & improve traffic flow and safety.

Change law around box junctions to give drivers more leniency
A report suggested that many yellow boxes are bigger than they need to be, on average by 50%. We believe the current rules may be abused by some authorities to raise revenue with no evidence of any benefits to traffic flow. Change law to give drivers more leniency with the suggestions below:
Traffic congestion at road junction
Significant traffic congestion is occurring at a major four-way intersection. The situation is creating difficult driving conditions for commuters.
