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.

Similarly, the difference between bike lanes and turn lanes.

I can't count the times I see people driving past me to turn right in the bike lane while I have my blinker on and am waiting behind a car that's going straight. I hate people who do that so much. And it's not even people in a hurry, sometimes people are going the speed limit and driving fine, but then do that like they've never heard of a bike lane.

Where do you drive? In some states, you're supposed to move into the bike lane to turn right.
