it seems the street designers around here are trying to get rid of as many of these "unofficial" right turn lanes as possible. One road I've ridden on a couple of times has stripes and "no no no" where the road is very wide at an intersection. Right turn only lanes are not that much of a problem, but I have seen many near-accidents when people pull to the right to pass people they think are turning left.
It does seem that the cyclist made a mistake by stopping through a second light cycle. I find it hard to believe that he didn't realize that would be seen as provocative.
