English term or phrase: Box Junction
Good afternoon everyone,

Any suggestions on how you would translate "box junction to turn right" in the below sentence?

"When the road approaches junction with Manchester Road, there is a box junction to turn right into Manchester Road."

Thanks in advance!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Matheus! I've used that term previously when translating. How would you use it in this particular sentence? Simply by saying "área de conflito para/de virar à direita na..."? I was also thinking of possibly saying "cruzamento demarcado com área de conflito"

cruzamento ou entroncamento facilmente congestionável


Explanation:
cruzamento ou entroncamento facilmente congestionável
https://www.invicta.pt/pdf/legislacao/SinalizacaoRodoviaria....

M17B - Cruzamento ou entroncamento facilmente congestionável

Área constituída e delimitada por linhas contínuas de cor amarela, definindo a intersecção das vias nos cruzamentos e entroncamentos, significa proibição de entrar na área demarcada, mesmo que o direito de prioridade ou a sinalização automática autorize a avançar, se for previsível que a intensidade do trânsito obrigue à imobilização do veículo dentro daquela área.
Imagine que existe muito trânsito neste local e imediatamente à frente desta marca rodoviária existe uma fila de veículos, a Clara está antes desta marca rodoviária e assim não deve avançar pois se o fizer vai ficar parada mesmo em cima da marca, o que quer dizer que vai bloquear os veículos que venham das vias da esquerda e da direita.
Resumidamente não deve em nenhuma circunstância parar em cima desta marca rodoviária pois corre o risco de bloquear os outros veículos de passarem pelo cruzamento.

A box junction is a road traffic control measure designed to prevent congestion and gridlock at junctions. The surface of the junction is typically marked with a yellow criss-cross grid of diagonal painted lines (or only two lines crossing each other in the box), and vehicles may not enter the area so marked unless their exit from the junction is clear, or they are intending to turn and are prevented from doing so by oncoming traffic, or other vehicles on the box waiting to turn.

Box junctions were introduced in the UK during 1967, following a successful trial in London.[1] In both Ireland and the United Kingdom (where cars drive on the left), drivers may enter the box and wait when they want to turn right and are stopped from doing so only by oncoming traffic or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.[2]
