Amending Chapter 12-400 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Right-of-Way Regulations and Penalties," by increasing the penalty for violations of Section 12-407, which prohibits the operator of a vehicle from entering an intersection or crosswalk unless there is sufficient space beyond the intersection or crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, and by requiring that certain signs and painted stripes be installed at intersections designated by ordinance as "Don't Block The Box" intersections; and by designating certain intersections in the City as "Don't Block The Box" intersections; all under certain terms and conditions.

No operator shall enter an intersection or crosswalk unless there is sufficient space beyond such intersection or crosswalk in the direction in which he is proceeding to accommodate his vehicle or street car without obstructing the passage of other vehicular traffic or pedestrians, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed.

At all intersections designated by ordinance as “Don’t Block The Box” intersections, the Department shall, at the Discretion of the Streets Commissioner, paint stripes on the cartway indicating the area of the intersection into which a vehicle should not enter unless there is sufficient space beyond such area to accommodate the vehicle without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. The Department shall also, at the discretion of the Streets Commissioner, erect “Don‘t Block The Box” signs at each such intersection, which signs shall set forth the penalty for violation of this Section.
