They're ALL "yellow boxes"! 
Presume you mean cameras covering Box junctions?
If so, I doubt they will, because (like bus lane cameras) there is no safety issue.
They are just like any CCTV camera that can now be used to fine you for doing something you shouldn't. |

I think this was discussed a little while ago and the decision was made not to include them. The same goes for bus lane cameras (which double as box junction and red route cameras).
To be honest, the warnings would drive you mad here in London there are so many of this type of camera.

Our official line is that as we do not plan to incorporate these. The rules on box junctions are clear and easily abided by and they are there for traffic management rather than safety.
The same could be said of red cameras of course but these have historically been included since we began the database. Whilst I would be much happier if they were not, it is always much harder to remove a camera set than not to include it at all. There are also the dual function red-light Monitrons that have a speed function which gives their inclusion some justification.
