      Why would it be a left-only lane?
      There are no arrows on the lane…

      And even if it was, you still have to indicate your desired direction, as the direction of the lane might not be clear to all traffic participants.

        Because going forward would lead you into the railing and grass. You can literally only make a left or illegal right.

        You’re the reason we have to add “coffee is hot” warnings on take away cups, mate.

          Why would turning right be illegal?
          As far as we can see, it is a lane with no mandatory direction (which is the thing that has been bugging me in the first place).

          But, TBF, I believed that myself for a long time, only to have the called police give me a little crash course in traffic lane rules after I had a car crash in a somewhat similar situation…
