I agree that people should not be able turn left there. But is there a no-left-turn sign there or not? If there isn't, left turns are allowed by default.
I am being a bit overly generous here, yes, a no-left turn sign is needed for left turns to actually be prohibited, but at an intersection with only one through lane, on a major road, a left turning vehicle will be holding up a whole line of cars. That does feel uncomfortable for drivers (which often leads to dangerous aggressive turns) and drivers in that situation should think about whether turns are allowed here or not.
They are still legally permitted.
