For me it is not about what it is called, it is about my safety. All the roads I ride are multilane, so the right lane is primarily used for right turners. This means that I can not be to the right of traffic and also that traffic in the right lane slowly moves forward in bursts for drivers turning on red.

Also traffic never backs up far enough that I miss a green light, light cycles are quite long here. So moving forward does not save me any time or test my patience.

I realize in different cities traffic flows are quite different and in these places it may be better to move forward.
