Default Unenforceable banned right turn in Highgate London

Hi all,.

At the north end of South Grove in Highgate, North London, are
no-entry
signs with text beneath reading "No Entry Except From East". In
effect they are saying that you can do a left-turn into South Grove
but you can't do a right-turn into it.


Is there such a sign in the highway code? IIRC the rules are slightly
more complex and the HC is not the definitive guide, and "temporary"
signs are allowed for a testing period.

Having said that it is taking the **** to expect people to follow a
sign that's not in the HC..


Why? As long as ots meaning and intention are plain why can't people be
expected to comply?

This is yet another example of the attitude that leads to the kind of petty
rules that so many people complain about.
