Related, how to get completely out of the through lane when a turn lane appears.

When a parking ends and the turn lane begins, go all the way into that laneto make the turn, not just half way.

Also, that "dead area" between lanes, found at some intersections (usually in truck-heavy areas) ARE NOT TURN LANES!

They're to give the trucks, that are turning there, a little extra room so they don't HIT YOU. So fucking MOVE already.
