A rather confusing public notice

It seems Tesco are going to be adding some pedestrian crossings to Lion Hill and Severn Road next month; to be precise "4 puffin crossings". One in Severn Road and one each at the arms of the Vale Road/Mitton Street junction and one at the Lion Hill/Mitton Street Junction. Judging by the use of "Lower Mitton Street" I can only assume that this is Hollybush side rather than the town side; that would be the only one that made sense.

The joke on that score is that they're expecting those using Lower Mittons Street to walk up and past the new Tesco site over to the Lower Mitton Street/Vale Road crossing on to the Lower Mitton Street/Lion Hill crossing and then all the way back down to get to Tesco due to the lack of pavement further back on the Tesco side of Mitton Street. IOW:

But that's not the dumbest thing. In order to carry out this work the roads will need to be temporarily shut during the day for three days each and the order to do so appears at the same time as the order to carry out the work (so if you've a problem with the siting- tough).

Pay attention to the one-way system shown above and then read the following:

Temporarily prohibit turning right onto A451 Mitton Street from A451 ValeRoad. [sic]
Temporarily prohibit turning left onto A451 Mitton Street from A451 Lion Hill.
Temporarily prohibit turning left onto A451 Mitton Street from A4514 [sic] Vale Road.
Temporarily prohibit turning right onto A451 Mitton Street from A451 Lion Hill

I have no problem with any of these prohibitions on the grounds that we can't do them anyway! Due to the one-way system you cannot turn either way from Lion Hill not Vale Road into Mitton Street.

Seeking clarification I took at look at the future road closures list and:

No right turn Mitton Street to Vale Road
No left turn Mitton Street to Lion Hill
No left turn Mitton Street to Vale Road

The fourth doesn't appear because that's in April and this only covers Feb/Mar. So someone somewhere has mightily screwed up and legally if they don't correct it any such closures will be illegal.

Oh and just to add more fun when the shut down the lanes into and out of town this is the diversion they're expecting you to follow:

 That's a 17 mile detour due to approximately 20 yards of road closure.
