'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.


Is it your time of the month or something, John?


It's always my time of the month.
