Direction? Quick - which way do you go?

Post by Horse »

One pic as it is now, the other as-was. Worth, in both, looking for other signs and clues such as vehicle orientation.

I remember putting that first photo onto a social media site (can't remember which one) about 5 years ago.....


I didn't take it, i found it somewhere else!

As the only mandatory sign is the blue sign you should turn left. ;)

I know that if you make the wrong choice, get fined and appeal because of bad signage it will be denied as everyone should know everything in London.

Am I in or on a vehicle, or on foot?

If in a vehicle I'd do what my sat nav tells me.

I 'sourced' it from LinkedIn a few days ago.

Second pic is the current (although that doesn't mean up to date) streetview from Google (and Maps shows the road ahead as one way, left to right, as does OpenStreetMaps).

Just having a closer look, second pic above has the pair of signs, with one visible and the other obscured. So, into Streetview to look at the other side:

If both No Entry signs had been wrapped up, would that have been enforceable?

Unlike Desktop, mobile version of Earth doesn't display the date images were recorded.

Even though there are other visual clues to tell you its a One Way street exit i would argue that one at court as the offence is "Motor vehicle fail to comply a no entry sign"....there would be no sign displayed so i would say its unenforceable.

The signs appear to have been completely covered to hide the opposite side with the direction arrows until someone realised they had covered both of the No Entry signs and tore off the plastic which is hanging below ;)
