Left turns aren't allowed there, but I strongly believe a large percentage of drivers in this city think that "no left turns" actually means "no left turns, unless it would be inconvenient to go around". Lots of people have (correctly) assessed that we don't enforce traffic rules in this country, so why wouldn't they ignore the rules if it gets them somewhere faster? I think it's seen by a lot of people as equivalent to driving 10 over, just a thing everyone does. Except sometimes there's a train.

The no left turns are installed as required by regulations for properly signing a turn restriction, the no u-turn is just a bonus sign that was added later. No left turns also prohibits u-turns, but apparently not enough people know that.
