I go through there every day, coming from from Tower Bridge traffic can go right or left but not straight on, about once a fortnight I see a car or van trying to do what the lorry did. At 4am with not much traffic around its easy to see how the lorry driver got confused.
Most of the motor traffic does a U-turn back towards the Highway. They get a green light at the same time as cyclists coming out of Royal Mint St (cable st) get a green signal to cross the road or turn left towards Tower Bridge, across the line of the motors doing the U-turn.
