A plan has been implemented by the National Works Agency (NWA) to reduce traffic congestion at several intersections in the Corporate Area leading up the Christmas season.
The agency will re-install Junction Boxes at 12 intersections.
"What this means is that motorists are expected to obey the markings by not parking, driving or stopping on them where they don't have through access at an intersection. So if the motorists stop in these intersections, they are going to be liable for prosecution by the police," said NWA Communication Manager, Stephen Shaw.
The intersections where the boxes will be installed are: Constant Spring Road/Suthermere Road; Trafalgar Road/Hope Road; Half Way Tree/Oxford Road; Maxfield Avenue/Hagley Park Road as well as Hope Road/Lady Musgrave Road.
The others are: Molynes Road/Washington Boulevard; Constant Spring Road/Oliver Road; Constant Spring Road/South Avenue; Eastwood Park Road/Red Hills Road; Half Way Tree Road/Hope Road; and Knutsford Boulevard/Oxford Road.
The installation of the boxes will commence tonight and should be completed by Tuesday.
The Junction Boxes will be painted in yellow and comprise four continuous lines forming a box.

Effective Monday, the NWA will change traffic arrangements in Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth and Christiana, Manchester.
There will be a one-way system in Santa Cruz until January 2.
Motorists travelling from the direction of Mandeville will encounter the one way system from the intersection of Coke Drive, Institution Drive and Main Street.
The one-way system will be in operation between 7:00 a.m and 8:00 p.m Mondays to Saturdays.
There will be normal traffic flow on Sundays.
A one-way system will also be introduced in Christiana.
Main Street, from the intersection with the Bypass at Apple Tree Plaza, will accommodate only motorists heading into the town from the direction of Mandeville and Chudleigh.
The one way system will be in operation for 24 hours daily until January 2.
