Yes, that is indeed the lamest method to "turn left", but I think it's the safest way to take the desired route.
As already mentioned in another thread, I always walk my bike at intersections.
I sometimes do that, too.
What makes me nervous when turning left is that not only you need to watch for the oncoming cars, but also cars behind you (if you are not on the left-most lane).
