They are NOT turning "right". If they are proceeding 180 or 270 degrees, they can be in the left (inner) lane---for 270 they MUST be in the inner lane. Exiting in accordance with the signage is NOT turning right from the "left" lane. Perhaps it would help some people understand if we exclusively used "inner and outer" rather than "left and right" within a RB. The problem arises when somebody enters a RB when traffic is coming around in EITHER lane. This leads to the scenario described by the OP. The other problem comes when some yahoo tries to go to the third exit in the outer lane, which btw I have seen three times this past week----I will not stir the pot by mentioning what state issued the license plates.
