Likewise, cars planning to turn right should leave the car lane they drive in and move rightward, into the cart-diamond lane and close to the curb as right turns always are done, and make the turn close to the curb.
In both cases, the turning driver's intentions to turn are clear by USING TURN SIGNALS and blocking those behind them. In both cases the driver intending to turn should let cart/car close behind go thru before merging into their lane and blocking it to make the turn.

I agree 100%
But now for reality:
Car drivers race to the merge points to pass carts
Carts pull left into car lane and even turn left without a signal
Some cars use the cart lane to pass other cars making a left turn
Some carts, some cyclists, and some cars completely ignore stop signs
Landscape trucks hauling a trailer turn right across the cart lane cutting them off without a signal
Pedestrians walk right at the curb with their nose buried in their cell phone
Cars with the right of way try to yield it to carts, when carts have the right of way they try to yield it to cars. Results in a staring contest
Many cars have no idea of how to navigate a RB
But thanks for posting the right way to do it---prediction--30% will comply, 30% will ignore it, and 40% won't understand
