Main Roads WA has announced the roll out of yellow box line marking to a further 12 intersections in the Perth metropolitan area, saying the lack of "common sense" by drivers has made the move necessary.
The marking acts as a reminder to drivers not to stop within an intersection, and a trial of the yellow box system was trialled last year at four different Perth intersections.

The model has been proven to reduce the number of times vehicles queue across an intersection.
A Main Roads WA spokesperson said the addition of the marking to 12 Perth intersections would hopefully improve traffic flow, and should be completed by the end of this month.
"It sounds like common sense but we often see drivers getting stuck in an intersection, causing frustration to other drivers and impacts to traffic flow," they said.
