I believe this may be related to this rather strange "barrier=yes" node on White Hart Avenue: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/443274874

It looks like OSRM, at least with default settings on the OSM home page, refuses to route past this so-called barrier, even if this forces the use of road tagged as access=private - you can see this by trying to route over a very short distance on either side of the node: OSRM example

From the imagery this barrier doesn't seem to correspond to anything in the real world and could likely be deleted. Or perhaps it was meant to refer to a barrier adjoining the street rather than on the street itself (it looks like there might be some kind of gate to the east of that point).

Well found! I've deleted my answer. That the node hasn't been touched for 9 years and was added 12 years ago makes me think that perhaps there was some sort of barrier at the business park entrance that has since been removed.

It should be noted that there's also a gate tagged on the small piece of North Road farther to the southwest (added in the same changeset as the barrier=yes). If that gate ever existed, it doesn't appear to exist anymore either. Both of these barrier tags probably need to be removed.
