Let the motorists honk. If stopped, I try to get a jump on the light changing and position myself to get back into the right side/shoulder going forward. If green, I hang out on the left side of the right turn only lane.

I have a spot on my commute where it isn't right turn only, but 90% of the cars in the right lane are turning right. IF first to the red light, I pull over to the left hand side to let cars make the permitted right turn at a red light. I then jump light and get into the right lane going forward. IF I'm not the first, I wait in line with everyone else.

lanes as intended, keeping to the right third of the lane and using hand signals to indicate that i'm staying left instead of moving into the right turn lane.

EricSteven5 - do you have a Google Earth screen shot of the intersection? Is it just one particular intersection or more?
