That is my understanding, too.

Purpose of turn[:lanes][:forward/backward] is to help the navigation app 
display what is painted on the road, for better orientation, regardless 
of whether this accurately reflects which turns are allowed.

Purpose of turn restrictions is to tell the routing software which turns 
are allowed or forbidden.
