Nah. People will do it no matter how slow the speed limit is (and if the speed limit is slower, they may be even more impatient). Truth is that some of these streets do need a dedicated turn lane because traffic *will* be held up at heavy times while a left turner waits for the oncoming lanes to clear. Which is why nobody wants to wait.
