Yeah, with all the multi-lane turns in RI, you're gonna need a better diagram. The goal is to stay in the lane you started from. I don't know how many times I've pulled out of the Chapel View plaza and people think they're in the right to turn into me in the middle lane as both lanes turn left.

There’s a two-lane left turn onto Smithfield Ave from Silver Spring St in Providence (right next to where the Cellos is) I take at night with some regularity. I’ve stopped using that far left lane to make the turn because so many people have cut me off, or come close to hitting me from them failing to maintain their lane and drifting from the right lane into the left.

Cherry on top is that I’ve had more than 1 person get pissy after honking my horn to prevent from getting hit by them over there. People honking back at me as if I was supposed to read their minds that they were planning on nearly driving into me or cutting me off.
