It's a dual left turn, and the outer lane (right lane) merges in to the left lane as you go down the ramp, and then it merges with Mcleod. Everyone piles up in the left lane at the red light, and I mosey up on the right lane. Light turns green, and all the people in the left lane just gun it and tailgate each other to box me out, because I had the nerve to make use of the extra lane that's designed to get more traffic through per light.
Don't worry about me, though. I have a way of forcing myself in. My signal light is not me asking your permission to enter the lane, it's me telling you that I'm entering the lane. And I can handle seeing you flip me off in my rearview. Doesn't hurt my feelings that you're a crappy, insecure tool of a driver.

When do you merge?
The lane markings on that one are poor because you have a dashed line immediately after the intersection when there should be a solid line through the S curve then a zipper. The solid line from the merge lane to McLeod is properly marked though.
I think they should just rip people's license who fail to use the optimal lane on the dual turn. I've seen it backup so it actually blocks the entrance to the turning lanes
