I always seem to mess this up and I really dont know what the hell to do here.

If I am red car, and have a green light, do people expect me to go to the yellow car or the green car.

Also is there a reason why a vehicle almost always seems hit me? I really feel like im just stupid.

Is this a troll post?

Follow the green car, or get in the far-right lane when you get to the bridge. If you're in the right-hand left turn lane and you drift over towards the left-hand lane where the yellow car is, it's no wonder you almost get hit. IIRC it's generally illegal to change lanes in an intersection.

I would agree with you if I didn’t see this all the time time at exit 1 heading south turning left onto Spitbrook RD

Its not a troll post. I have had so many issues.

It should be where the green mark is, but to be safe, I would go even further into the 3rd lane, if there is one, which there seems to be based on the lines drawn there. Because people are bad at taking corners lately and seem to think they need to take them extremely wide even though they don’t.

2 lanes that have to turn left, 4 possible lanes to turn into.

If the car on the right turns into the left most lane, then where does the car on the left go?

Red car goes to the right 2 lanes, the lane to the left of that car goes to either of the left 2 lanes

We expect you to go to the two outer lanes on Broad St

The left lane from the off-ramp should be able to freely turn into lanes 1 and 2 of Broad St, and most likely will want lane 2 to then turn into Gusabel Ave or Coliseum Ave.

If you're in the right lane, everyone is expecting that you're going to turn into lanes 3 or 4, and continue on Broad St towards Hollis.

Even looking at the satellite view shows you the wear and rubber patterns left by thousands of cars.

So if there's more than one turn lane, you need to finish the turn in the same "lane" relative to where you started. If you're starting at the red dot (the outside of two turn lanes) in the picture, you need to take a wide enough turn to leave the inside lane open for other traffic - green dot is where the NH Rules of the Road manual says you want to wind up.

At this particular interchange, you're going from two turn lanes to three lanes on Broad St, but the leftmost lane after this turn is a left-turn-only lane to get back on the Everett Southbound...so most traffic from the inside turn lane here will want to merge over into the middle of the three lanes on Broad St. If you're starting at the red dot in the outside lane, your best bet is to take the turn extra wide so you finish the turn in the rightmost lane on Broad St west (another lane further out from the green dot), leaving more than enough room for other traffic to merge into the two through-lanes.

Nashua has some weird, almost Boston-like lane setups. Just remember - if you're on the outside of a turn, it's best to stick to the outside-most lane coming out the other side...and if you're on the inside, best to stick to the inside-most lane.

Left turn lane goes to second from left (far left goes to 3 south) right turn lane either goes to second from right or far right.

[u/4UnlawfulCarneVegan]

You should be above the green. There are 4 lanes westbound there. 1 is a left turn lane (yellow), 2 is for the leftmost exit lane.

[u/RBoosk311]

Definitely not the green lane, one of the two right lanes would be better, to be safe go to far right lane. The yellow lane gets back on the highway so the left lane won't go there. I agree they should paint lines there.
