Narrative:
The problem arose because the developmental failed to realize the traffic situation, but it was only a traffic situation because the previous controller cleared the aircraft off a required routing. The procedure on how aircraft shall enter this sector is clear, yet it is constantly not followed and nothing is ever done about the issue, in regard to the controllers whom constantly do not follow the procedures. Procedures that are in place to help ensure the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic.
