It's always entertaining checking the route in preparation. Our 'Day of the Dead' ride tomorrow could have had that literal outcome without a pre-check. The return route from Montague Place behind the British Museum would normally feature a right turn onto Russell Square, following the 'No Right Turn except cyclists' sign above. The sign remains but the cycle facility it leads to has been removed during roadworks and you'd be cycling into oncoming traffic. We've rerouted for tomorrow's actual ride.
I can confirm that the no right turn sign with except cycle plate at this location is correct. Unfortunately the associated road-marking has not been laid to compliment this and so there is potential for confusion.
Arrangements have been made for the markings to be laid tomorrow (Friday) to highlight where traffic is expected to be.
