Does this apply to all warning signs, or just to those possessed by
people who you don't like?

No, just the ones that admit that the vehicles they are attached to are
too dangerous to mix with vulnerable road users. Cyclists and pedestrians
regularly get killed by vehicles that have nothing to stop such users
being dragged under their wheels. Why such dangerous construction is
allowed in this day and age is beyond me. It's even a problem for smaller
cars in some cases. Look at A14 accident reports.
