Bournemouth: misleading sign on Branksome Wood Road

This sign directs motorists right for access to the A338 and to Westbourne, correctly, and looks perfectly ok. However, Queen's Road is a one-way street, meaning that traffic can (and, arguably, should) use the first right-turn rather than go beyond the island. The junction is marked as such but the sign suggests that the first turning is not available.
