Can I challenge a box junction fine because the yellow lines were faded?
I entered a yellow box. The video and photo show that the yellow markings of the box are very faded, particularly in the lane I was in. A driver concentrating on whether to move forward would not see the faded yellow lines.

You have the option to challenge the PCN based on the condition of the lines, but we would expect the chances of success to be slim. Arguably the presence of any yellow line covering a junction would indicate that a box junction is present and that the box junction rules would be in effect.
