The heavy lifting will be done by ANPR. The local authority will have a database of registration plates of all authorised vehicles. In the context of these restrictions authorised means vehicles specifically authorised by the local authority. Its not the same as "except for access".
Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

I think someone would have to monitor this one tbh. ANPR wouldn't know if a car is going in or out. It's a pretty dumb system.
In London they have an army of people watching for things like people stopping 1mm over a box junction or touching a bus lane. Such a huge waste of resources.
Now they are having to hire people to stop locals trashing ULEZ but that's another story.

There won't be someone manually checking every single registration plate. It'll be ANPR, with verification on any hits.

All they would need is a second camera. Which one was triggered first is all they would need to determine if you were entering or exiting the turning
It looks like it already has two cameras anyway, the black and white image appears to be the ANPR camera and seems to be framed so it can only see the part of the road you enter, to stop it picking up exiting vehicles. The wider angle CCTV presumably there primarily to provide additional proof the car made the manoeuvre into the road.
Almost like someone thought about this sort of thing already when they were installing the camera system

Actually yes, you can see the 2 cameras in the OP's streetview image, one about half way up the pole, the second 3/4 of the way up

Too busy looking at sat nav more than likely.
Yup, as I had no idea where I was going
Is this a rage bot?
I'll happily admit that I don't take much notice of anything other than the speed limit, to my detriment this time.
Still not got a single point in 17 years of driving, though.

How many miles and where do you drive a year though? Saying no points in 17 years needs a little context when say bob goes 5 miles up the same road and back every year but has a clean licence for 20 years whereas Micky who is all over the country in his van doing 30000 miles a year has 3 points for speeding.
At least now you might learn not to trust your nav and maybe scope out the area on Google maps before you leave. If you are driving to something of significance it might surprise you that the road signage will tell you where to go better than the nav will!
About 10k a year. Quite a few of those miles are up and down the A3 into central London, which is rife with cameras.
