Interesting question. On a quick read of TSRGD 2016:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/schedule/3/made
(1) The sign must only be placed to indicate the effect of an Act, order, regulation, bylaw, resolution or notice which prohibits or restricts the use of the road by traffic. [is it?]
(2) When the sign is placed to indicate the point at which a restriction, requirement or prohibition begins or ends, it must be placed as near as practicable to that point.
We do have an actual sign-wallah on here though, I'm sure there will be more layers of bureaucracy involved. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Probably the best place for it....
We have a few no left and rights round here. All signed before the junctions.

I got done turning right at a no right turn, when I went back to find the signs they were about 50 yards from the end of the road
When I went back about a month later they had been moved up to the end of the street, you know where you could actually see them when turning. ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

Refers to the camera-right-hand-side of the side road, where Blurry Bloke is striding.
If you're approaching the camera, you can turn left into the side road. It's not a one-way street.
Approaching as per the camera:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5710754,-0.1953255,3a,75y,173.18h,81.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3btbD4K_nkXGqGgBs41ErA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1
Approaching towards the camera (note the lack of any prohibition on turning left):
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5705912,-0.195229,3a,75y,347.62h,71.66t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slLtYUKqkpuKjGEfAUa6Fug!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1
Emerging from the side street:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5707699,-0.1956368,3a,75y,65.83h,74.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHr_eNdHzMkTKgYZSxdXrCA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Maybe if it said no entry from the North but it doesn't.
Now be quiet, the adults are talking. |

See, from that angle, it looks like it might be a bit difficult to turn left into, so maybe a restriction from turning would make sense at that position - but seemingly not from the other side (where the original picture is taken from)
Only thing I can think is that perhaps its just to prevent larger vehicles from getting stuck or something? It does look like a bit of a funky junction, at best.
Those two no-right-turn signs seem pointlessly placed, Sickers. I would have thought a better place (if they are going to put a no-right-turn sign there) would have been that little island where that little yellow no-entry sign is placed for the other bit (blurry bloke walking, as pointed out). ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Splendid. I wonder if they'll bother to change the signage, or just continue to mug people who roll over without challenging it.
