I think a right turn in Aussie is the same as a left turn over here, across traffic. Now that is one thing that does scare the sh*t out of me, is waiting in the middle of the road to turn left. If it's that busy, I'll usually just make a right turn and come back through the intersection with the light or when there's a break in traffic, if it's stop sign.
