The rules have changed recently to permit two-way cycling in this street. The cycle symbol and arrow have been added on the ground and the word NO has also been refreshed (compare to #39547). (Note also that the mini is facing the 'wrong' direction.)
The problem is that I think this is all rather ambiguous and it definitely feels unfinished. Perhaps it is work in progress and the white lining team has done their bit but the signing team have not yet done theirs.
(Update: twitter.com/hopsncheese/status/552183755012841472 confirms it was ahead of winter salting.)
The change to permit two-way cycling continues into the part of Ross Street north of St. Philip's way, but there are two one way arrows - adding to the air of ambiguity. (See www.cyclestreets.net/location/63237-43/)
The decision to make the changes was taken at this meeting:

(where there is a link to the minutes and decision summary).
Update early August 2015
The except cycles panels were added see #67970.
