Despite the warnings that "you should
not
enter the box-junction unless your exit is
clear" the stupid and the selfish continue
to do so, blocking everyone else when
the
lights change.
Shimy-Shake Box junctions have been
developed to punish and deter this most
nefarious activity. The
junction is painted
with the usual yellow grind of lines, but
hidden under these are movement
detectors, and a system of mini tectonic
plates.
Now when a car enters the junction,
positions itself where it shouldn't and
lingers there, blocking the other lanes,
its
presence is quickly detected. Once the
equipment verifies that an infringement
is
taking place, the tectonics immediately
under that particular car are activated.
This action causes the offending car and
its contents to be given a good shaking.
Instead of other drivers fuming with road
rage, they can now sit back and watch as
the junction blocker twitches and shakes
inside their car, whilst childish merry-
go-
round music begins to play, adding to
their humiliation.
