It appears that beyond the photo there is a point where traffic, car or bike, is expected to enter the right turn lane and then, when the strip becomes SOLID, not make a decision to re-enter the forward lanes if you discover you have made a mistake. And similarly, folks who discover they 'should have turned right' should not be taking the blue line...car, or bike. If the intersection is not well marked, mayhem may thus result.
