If the only restriction is an access restriction at one end, is the street
one-way?

What's to prevent someone turing round in the street and travelling in the
"wrong" way? or exiting premises on the street and travelling in the
"wrong" way?

If such a street were in the UK, then I'd not expect it to be one-way just
on the basis of an access restriction at one end.
