Could I ask the panel about http://goo.gl/maps/y9Zj3 ? If you look towards the road to the right (Parliament St, Gloucester), there are No Entry signs with no exceptions signed, but on the road it says "Buses and taxis only". Equally, the sign under the green filter arrow on the right-hand traffic lights says "Except buses" - surely that should say "Buses only".
This is just incompetent. Yes, the No Entry sign on the left should have an exception (interestingly the road is only wide enough for one bus and if you go further down the street we find it is traffic light controlled, so the right filter light must be linked to the one a hundred metres away - clever). Except that No Entry is unenforceable because they must always come in pairs and the one on the island belongs with the other one on the exit. I think the road marking is OK, but the one on the lights is definitely wrong - it should have a mini No Right Turn sign with that exception plate, built into the lights, like this (which is no left turn except cycles, but same principle http://bit.ly/ZbOhtZ ), along with the filter light.
The no entry sign on the road to the left (St Michaels Square) is also illegal, there being only one sign.
I guess pragmatically it works, but the engineers weren't sticklers for doing it by the book.
