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?

If the sign said "Post a cheque for £10 to [insert name of your hate
figure]", would you still expect people to "comply"?

If not, why not?

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

Let's get this straight...

You say that people should obey petty rules without compulsion, and that if
they don't, the authorities are justified in setting the petty rules in law?
