Turned right against a left turn only sign

[chrisoleary]

Hi I was on Saville Row heading North, came to the junction with Conduit Street and there's a left turn only sign, not sure why it's left turn only and not no right turn as Conduit Street is a two way street, so I guess I just turned right as I knew the street went both ways, without noticing the signage. I think I may have to cough to this one, but just in case, does anyone notice anything dodgy about the PCN or whatever? Cheers. edited pdf of the pcn attached.

The signage seems to have changed from google threre is now a sign missing opposite the junction. I think the traffic order needs to be checked to see what the actual restriction is.

Judging by the position of the van, it looks like the OP isn't the only one not 'complying' with the 'turn left only' sign. I would of thought that the signage should be simple 'no right turn' because as it is (unless there is something wrong with the traffic order), you cannot access the road opposite either.

I think that is why no right turn is NOT used.
