🚦 Cardiff’s Most Infamous Yellow Boxes 🚦
Ever found yourself caught up at one of Cardiff’s dreaded yellow box junctions? You’re not alone! Cardiff Council has raked in over £500,000 this year from fines, and we’ve got the lowdown on where drivers are most likely to be caught out.
Here are the top 5 junctions taking a toll on your wallet:
1️⃣ **Churchill Way & Bute Terrace**: Leading the pack, this junction next to the Utilita Arena tagged over 600 drivers in just two months! That’s a hefty £97,145 in fines since April.
2️⃣ **Adam Street & Central Link**: Situated near the prison, this junction sees an endless stream of cars headed to Cardiff Bay and city centre hotspots.
3️⃣ **Dumfries Place & Newport Road**: A rush-hour horror show at this three-way junction off Queen Street. The queues are long, and the fines add up fast.
4️⃣ **Leckwith Gyratory & A4232 Slip Road**: Whether heading to a match at Cardiff City Stadium or shopping at Capital Park, hundreds of fans and shoppers have been ensnared here.
5️⃣ **Cardiff Road & Mill Lane**: If you’re journeying north out of Pontcanna, beware! This spot is notorious for catching drivers off guard.
Remember, those fines can be slashed in half if you pay up within 14 days, softening the blow a little. Cardiff’s yellow box junctions are no joke, with last year’s fines topping £756,000 alone.
