I don't think I would call Glasgow "not a through street", but I do understand that it's a city priority to keep traffic calmed there.
Presumably, in days of yore, the intersection was 2 through lanes for both northbound and southbound, where the inner through lane doubled as a turn lane. They reconfigured to allow for left turn storage lanes, (probably due to large backups caused by left turners at rush hour) at the cost of one southbound through lane.
