I'm confused. In post #22 you wrote: "Also, there is one intersection in question where two lanes turn left, one goes straight, one goes right. In said case, I stop behind the first car in the leftmost right-turn lane and then..."

First you said there are two lanes that turn left, and one that goes right, yet you then refer to the "leftmost right-turn lane", implying there are two right-turn lanes. That didn't make sense. I assumed your error was in saying there are 2 left and 1 right, when your error was in saying "leftmost right-turn lane" rather than "rightmost left-turn lane". Anyway, I think I understand now.

We have double left-turn lanes too, and I usually use the rightmost one. But in one place where I know that at certain times of the day after the turn the right lane becomes congested with right-turning motorists, I use the leftmost left-turn lane and, after completing the turn, I continue in the left lane until I pass all the congested right-turners (despite there being a bike lane to the right of the right lane the use of which inevitably causes dangerous crossing of paths between the thru cyclists and the right-turning motorists).
