At the crossroads of Exhibition Road and Cromwell Road SW7, traffic
approaching from three directions is now banned from turning left or
right.
This is signified by the green light being a forward arrow. At other
junctions where both turns are banned you would see a vertical white
arrow
on a blue background beneath the three traffic lights, but they have not
done that here.


I would expect to see 'no left turn' and 'no right turn' signs in red
circles alongside or under the green arrow.


According to the Traffic Sings Manual, at lights controlled crossings, a
single arrow indicating the only permitted direction of travel is the
correct choice of sign. At uncontrolled junctions, either that or two
signs, showing no left turn and no right turn are acceptable.
