Okay, so here's a little drawing I threw together to demonstrate what I did today.

The circle is me, the arrows show my direction, and the boxes are traffic lights (sorry for the awful drawing). I started off on the right hand side of the road, next to the sidewalk. I signaled to move over to the left side, in order to be in the correct position to make a left hand turn.

When I moved, people started giving me dirty looks, so I must have done something wrong. I rode on the left hand side of the left lane, very close to the divider for about a minute until I reached the intersection, did I move too soon? I'm very confused, please help.
