Another option is to take a sidewalk on the right (visible on picture) before the turn, if traffic is crazy and there are not that many people walking on it. It may slow you down and illegal but much safer.

I have a crazy section of road with lots of cars during peak hours at 5:30 pm and no shoulder during my commute, so I ride the sidewalk for a mile to avoid traffic all together. During winter months the sidewalks are piled with snow and nobody cleans them though. I almost never see any people walking on sidewalks.
