Eh? You're saying that disobeying a mandatory "no-right-turn" sign is
not an offence? Please explain; I'm not sure what you mean by a
"strict" offence.


"No Entry" is simply defined, and crossing the line
allows a prosecution for failure to obey a road sign
(unless there is an invalid exception plate).

"Right turn" is vague, as is the area where it is prohibited,
so the prosecution would have to prove driving/cycling
without due care and attention. If a cyclist dismounted,
turned the bike through 90 degrees and cycled ahead,
is an offence committed?
