Default Unenforceable banned right turn in Highgate London

'No right turn' is not a strict offence, whereas 'no entry' is.


That's ironic, because virtually everyone who performs a banned right turn
is committing a deliberate crime, whereas virtually everyone who goes
through a No Entry sign (except at this junction) does so by mistake.

But anyway, perhaps you have found the key to the issue. Highgate is packed
full of Guardian readers, and Guardian readers believe it's okay to do what
the hell they like so long as they feel guilty afterwards, so maybe an
earlier banned-right-turn sign was being ignored so much by the locals that
TPTB decided to up the ante to a more serious offence.
