Despite the fact that they are turn-only lanes, if motorists want to pass they will overtake in these lanes. A couple suggestions would be possibly waiting to let traffic flow calm a bit prior to going up the hill and possibly after going through the light. Maintaining lane control is key and is much more safe for you in the long run. You may get honks, but you are going within your means to get from point A to point B like everyone else.
