First, the lane may not continue ahead, so an emergency merge mid-intersection with the through lane traffic would result. Second, other road users might assume you're turning right and move in front of you at the junction. Third, if you stop at a signal, you're blocking potential right-on-red turning traffic that might be behind you. Lastly, it's usually illegal.
