Yes, it was flat across and looked clear to me. What was interesting was that even though people were doing it wrong, everyone seemed to be doing it wrong (except for some drivers who turned left into Mildmay Park when they saw the sign, but of course they didn't get in the way), and so it 'worked'. Westbound drivers didn't use the middle lane, eastbound drivers did.

Sounds about right. Normally the way to tell if a road is closed is the cones/signage is flat across the lane ie a barricade. Where was a lane closure/narrowing of a lane is tapered ie a guide to ease flow. Of course cones can be moved or rearranged. If there is a road closed sign in these parts (Norfolk) they are usually accompanied by a cctv anpr camera.
