Can you be more specific about the area. I've gone to the link. What street? I hit street view but didn't see any road arrows.
Sorry, I should have double checked that link. Here is the proper link

I ended up having to go straight on anyway, which is lucky because there was a police van behind me, so I don't think I would have dared turn right, without being sure.
My common sense tells me that I can turn right because there are no signs that say otherwise, but I don't always trust my common sense...often lets me down...

Arrows on the road are not mandatory. In the absence of no 'No Right Turn ' signs then I would say that you could turn right.
Looking at the central reserve on the carriageway you would turn into, it looks tight.

If I recall (used to work round there in around 2000) that traffic light turns green with a straight ahead arrow?
|
|
theres no way i would turn right with those arrows in the road unless i did indeed see a traffic signal saying i could
|
The green traffic light looks to me to be circular, rather than arrow-shaped.
This would indicate a right turn is allowed.
Looking at the junction from a common sense point of view, I would try to arrange my route so that I did not have to turn right, unless there was hardly any other traffic around.

Can't see why you couldn't, but if there's traffic behind you I doubt you'd be very popular!
|
I simply would not risk it, looks far too busy and dangerious. There are some junctions near me like that, right turns are allowed but it is car quicker and safer to do a left then right. I always curse people that decide to turn right because it takes about two minutes to get a safe cap at this junction I know.
Also I thought arrows had to be followed by law?
|
The arrows merely indicate which lane to use whether you are following the road ahead or turning left. Unless there is a seperate indication prohibiting a right turn you are free to do so.

Yes you can SS.
At least you pay attention to arrows on the road. Some people don't seem to have a clue as to what they are for or what they mean.
|
I can't see any reason not to turn right. Arrows on the road are to get left-turning traffic into the left lane and out of the way of traffic going straight on.
It's not entirely clear, but looks to me as though the road straight on the other side of the black cab is one way, so there'll be nothing oncoming to block you and no reason why people behind you will be held up if you turn right.
|
The road ahead is one way (see signs) so no oncoming traffic.
The arrows on the road help to filter out the two lanes into the one lane of the road ahead. (The junction is off-set)
Yes you can turn right.

I can't see anything on Streetview that says you can't.
Near where I live there is a one-way street coming to a junction. Left arrow in left hand lane, right arrow in right hand lane. However I usually need to go straight on into a smaller sidestreet. This can only be accomplished from the right hand lane and the arrows on the traffic signals confirm that this manoeuvre is permitted.
In SteelSpark,s case the three traffic lights on the right hand signal appear the same size. If the green was a straight ahead arrow then I believe it would be larger.

Who on earth drew that bike with square wheels on the green bit in the middle of the road? Are 2 year olds being employed to do the road markings these days?
|
|
In the absence of a no right turn sign at the bottom of the traffic lights, you should be able to turn right. Seems the 2 year old road markers have omitted the right turn arrow on the ground.
|
|
Nothing to say you can't turn right, so I would say yes, you can turn right. I think the straight ahead arrow is just to differentiate between the left-turn only lane.
