What if you are going to turn right and have a clear shot to the intersection?
Thanks!
For me, I take my place in line and stop with traffic. If I'm making a right turn and there's a right turn only lane I move into that lane, the same if I'm making a left turn and there's a left turn only lane. If there is no right or left turn only lanes then I take a lane position that under the given circumstances gives me the highest level of visibility to drivers behind me and is the safest place to make the turn from.
