Spot-on. The problem is analogous to a police officer unlawfully ordering a bicyclist onto the sidewalk, and the remedy is similar -- file a complaint somewhere up the chain of command.
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition complained about a related problem -- during construction, a segment of El Camino Real was illegally posted "no bicycles." We got the sign removed, which is great, but now we would push for a "share the road" or "bicyclists entitled to full lane" sign.
