That may be the question, but the answer should be rather simple. According to the sign below, you cannot turn right between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday. The reason for the sign is clear: the residents who live on this street are {miffed, irritated, annoyed, inconvenienced, angered} by the handful of cars that go down it to bypass the traffic mess on the numbered route nearby.
However, the large sign did not stop one motorist from executing the prohibited maneuver recently, only to drive a bit further up and turn into a driveway.
Do as I say, not as I do.
If the residents of this fancy street used their clout (financial, political, etc.) to have this sign put up, then they should be ready and willing to follow the rule themselves. If the alternate route is too inconvenient to these entitled residents, then it's equally inconvenient to everyone else!
And if they use some of my tax dollars to maintain this public road, I have a fair right to use it any time I want.
