Thanks for your reply, Yep, there is no left turn sign.

That sign has been fixed, but it's angle is poor (dead straight) in front of the hotel and only a single sign. It would be much easier if it had a no left turn or at least if the sign was actually angled a bit better towards the driver as the road I was on was also one way.

There doesn't seem to be any other sign saying no left, and indeed on Maps the no entry was twisted showing a misleading directional arrow but it seems to have been fixed.

So I landed two penalties here (10 minutes apart). The road was only signposted with a single no entry sign and with a very distressed and unsettled child I probably missed it.

I am not entirely happy with the placement of the sign and its dead straight angle given the single sign and when turning in visibility due to A-pillars of the sign. The sign was also unlit unlike others.

I’ll get the letter attached soon.
