I fear you are right, but I still don't think it's a good use of police resources!
I'm sure that Lincoln Police would like a list of things that they needn't resource ! The road has been engineered specifically to stop people going right. The traffic island has been designed to make it hardto go right. Locals will still chance it and strangers might have a "monentairily lapse"* during high driver workloadThey may resource it actively because of whatever caused it to be designed like that keeps happening despite the signage. Note on the road leading up to the junction that it is a residential street, and a two way street. on a narrow narrow lane and this is not getting at you at Manatee - There is a similar area in Colwyn Bay - complex when you're try to find a particular place, there is an overload of signage, you're looking at signs confirming one way two way or dead end egaged in finding something avoiding things...easilly done but you are banged to rights. If it were a cross-roads the road you were driving into you - it would have to be straight ahead. You have some mitigation - stranger in an area etc. You could cop a plea on the basis on going on a driver imporvment prgram and avoid the points. I'd be miffed but don't go down the resouces street (two way no u turn) with Police...not worth it. Write an factual letter to them after the case or with payment for the fine if you feel that strongly. I've done worse things and worried about them for 14 days.
