In that case the arrow shouldn't the arrow be horizontal? (telling traffic to go up the side road) As it is it means pass either side to get to the same destination. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass either side to get to same destination is a single sign with two arrows on it like this: Two separate signs denote two separate routes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means pass to the right of the obstruction, not turn right so effectively is the same as the sign you have posted.

The turn right sign (horizontal arrow) is an order i.e. you must turn right. This also means that it cannot be used with any other sign, as another sign would contradict that mandatory order. i.e. you only use it when the only option is to turn right. Clearly this is not the situation here. In this situation there is no ideal sign, but all alternatives that they could have used would be more wrong, including horizontal arrows or the pass either side to get to same destination (which does not mean the same as two separate signs) . So they have signed it as best as possible within the limitations of the highway code. You can pass to left and go straight on, or you can pass to the right to take the turning.

I have seen that sign when the RH lane is turn Right and the LH lane is straight on, so that is wrong? Normally I would have expected a temporary sign saying "Acccess to XXX Road" with an arrow on the sign pointing right, so I maintain that sign is wrong as it means pass the obstruction on the right.
