There are also those weird stretches of road on 441 where the right lane has a right arrow painted on it, indicating that it's a right-turn-only lane.
That's fine, but that lane is over a mile long. If you know you'll need to turn right in 3/4 of a mile, and there's traffic, is it acceptable to get into that lane immediately and continue driving in it until your turn comes? Or are you required to stay out of it until you're just a block away from the turn? Or do you have to wait until you pass the "last traffic light before the turn" before you can get into it?
I usually start looking to get into that lane as soon as I see that the traffic is starting to build up. Reason being: I don't want to be stuck in one of the other lanes and not be ABLE to pull to the right, when I need to actually take a right.
