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. There are none of the normal right-turn-banned
signs at
all. Since drivers are not legally required to carry a compass or know
the
direction in which they are travelling at a particular moment, I don't
see
how anyone could be successfully prosecuted for doing a right turn
here. I
also don't see why they didn't just mount a right-turn-banned sign.

I believe that all new road signs must be EU approved and one bearing
the legend "No Entry Except From East" would not be EU approved, so the
sign is in fact illegal and has no compulsion.
