What do yellow criss-crossed lines forming a grid on the road surface indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

These road markings, known as yellow box junctions or grids, remind drivers that they must not enter the intersection or pedestrian crossing if, due to traffic congestion, it is foreseeable that the vehicle will be stopped inside the marked area, thereby obstructing cross traffic. This prohibition applies even if the driver has the right of way or the traffic light is green. Its main function is to prevent gridlock at junctions. Therefore, it is strictly not a parking zone nor a crossing for cyclists.
