I think most drivers complain about bikes not even slowing down.

I know I did. Though, it’s not what I deem “worthy” or “cool,” it’s literally whether the rule makes sense or not. Is the main point of a rule safety? or just compliance?
Just ask yourself the question: are you not making that turn because it isn’t safe and/or an inconvenience to others? or are you not making that turn because the sign tells you not to?
I think common sense and good driving supersedes some rules or customs. Sometimes it’s safer and more convenient for everyone to make that turn than to u-turn further along that route. I also completely understand why that sign exists and follow it under the conditions it was created for.
I take it you never ever go faster than the speed limit?
