In Canada anyway, I think much of this tinkering is moot without enforcement. The City of Kitchener has been installing signs restricting right turns on red or other types of movements- I can think of Margaret and Wellington and several intersections downtown and on King Street. To a great extent they are ignored, they seem to be ignored.
This is anecdotal, but I know people who have received speeding tickets. I can't think of anyone who has received a ticket for turning into the wrong lane, turning right when it was prohibited but they didn't see the new sign, or anything along these lines. This kind of driving has been normalized, putting up a few signs at a few extra intersections probably won't do much to constrain the worst drivers who are likely to be taking those turns in an unsafe manner in the first place.
