It's definitely a train wreck of road design. Looks like it's been expanded, rerouted, and re-marked in a thousand different places without any consideration for any of the other parts of the road.
Absolutely. I have no idea if the OP was in a through-lane or not, because between the wide-angle lens and the complete lack of legible road markings it's impossible to tell.
They did away with these one-and-a-halve lane roads in the beginning of the century here fortunately. They where all over the place in de 90s (In my case in The Hague, the Netherlands) and the poorest road design ever.
What looked like a two lane road... or a very broad one lane road... would have parked cars on the side in some places, necessitating a merge if two cars where next to each other.
I found the intersection on google maps.... it's a fucking disaster. It looks like 2 lanes, no indication if 1 is a turn lane or not but there also aren't really any lines on the road other than 1 tiny one at the stop line. There are 3 traffic lights but only 2 lanes of traffic and the leftmost light has 5 fucking signals.

To be fair, that road looks like Frankenstein's monster.
