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.

'No right turn' is not a strict offence, whereas 'no entry' is.
However, it would be interesting to see what the traffic
order says

Eh? You're saying that disobeying a mandatory "no-right-turn" sign is
not an offence? Please explain; I'm not sure what you mean by a
"strict" offence.
