Clearly indicated no U-turn, but the Google Maps lady told me to make a U-turn here, having come out of Short Lane with no right turn and needing to go west. I ignored this and used a roundabout further on. Looking at the road layout, a valid right turn would seem to be to gain access to the road just seen slipping off on the right, which, after giving access to two further roads, rejoins the closely parallel main A30. Is this the legal way to do it?
