"Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left."

That aside:

• If there's a left-turn arrow on the traffic light AND a left-turn only lane -- and provided I can safely cross any straight-through lanes -- I'll take that route, placing myself either first in line or second (depending on whether or not my weight will trip any light-change sensor).
• If the previous conditions don't exist, I'll make a right turn at the light, followed by a U-turn when it becomes possible and safe to do so, then wait for the green light and ride through the intersection; OR
• If there's a median strip AND I can safely move across the straight-through lanes, I'll move to the end of the median and wait for either a green light or for a break in traffic, then make the left turn.

These are all normal scenarios for making a left-turn/U-turn, given the one-after-another nature of South Florida strip malls. Needless to say (but I'll say it, anyway), I always roll with a bright, flashing tail light and head light, along with wide reflective ankle straps and a garish, high-visibility jersey.
