There are clearly a lot of stupid people on this forum
1. First of all there's an arrow telling you where you should go.
2. Then there's a large polygon with stripy lines telling you were you shouldn't go.
3. And finally there's a camera sign
Fines from that camera are a deserving tax on the stupid.

Originally posted by Cr1spy View PostIt's obviously setup as a cash cow for the local authority. Why else install an expensive monitoring camera on such a minor road.
However, the layout is (excessively) sign posted, so you don't have a chance in hell of winning a complaint. Another case of driver beware.
Satnav led me up a bus / taxi only road the other day. Waiting on a brown envelope...

I sympathise. It's unintuitive and from looking at the picture I'd probably have done exactly what you did.

My brain works ok, it's the only thing stopping me following my twatnav through no entry signs or along the railway tracks.
The problem I'm complaining about is that unless there are regular updates the twatnav is useless as it doesn't cope well with one way systems or pedestrianised zones.
So I'm usually forced to drive like a rat in a maze around unfamiliar centres looking for an alternative way, hoping that the twatnav will cotton onto one for me.

There are quite a few of these in London and yes I think they are deliberately confusing (revenue raising) . The scary bit is as you get close to the black bollard things you can see copious shades of paint on them . If you do not line up EXACTLY between the things you are very likely to scrape part of your car and add to the paintwork.

I think be has a point. I'd have been confused by the bicycle indicating it was a cycle lane - cars aren't supposed to use cycle lanes are they?

Fire engines can't so they tend to avoid those roads. Alternatively they will put a locked gate in the middle if it's the only access and fire engines need to use them.
