Once you drive into Eastcote Lane from Northolt there is one place to go, a school entrance just beyond the junction. Then the road crosses the Central Line railway and hits this barrier. There is absolutely no reason to drive along the road beyond the school as it is clearly signed no through road, but officially traffic can still drive beyond a hundred yards or so to this point, but there is no facility for turning round so would need to make a three point turn. Simply allowing access to the school and placing any restrictions beyond there would at least restrict the road in this direction to any functional use, as going beyond the school is a futile exercise as demonstrated here.
