That's this one then:

So presumably your coming from the northeast  here:

and exiting at the southwest here:

I wonder if it's doing that because the angle between entry and exit 
roads is just a little more than 180 degrees (i.e. a little more than 
"straight on"), or because it's a road with (in that direction) no exit 
at 9 o'clock?  What does it say if you try and go in the other direction 
- i.e. from

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/42685063

to

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/290451040 ?

I'll have a think and see if I can find any similar ones locally.

Cheers,
