This is what happened in the OP's case.

They were in a single lane dedicated to people taking a left, from the main road (466A) to a strip-mall driveway (I believe this was Colony Plaza).

They were traveling east on 466A and got into the left turn only lane. People coming west on 466A had a RED light. The person taking a left had a GREEN light. The person taking a left had the right of way.

Immediately after turning into that driveway, there is a gas station on the RIGHT. The only way to get there from 466A, traveling east and taking a left at the light, is to be in the right lane after the turn. You can't turn onto the left lane in that drive, and take a right. THAT would be dangerous, stupid, and not lawful.

Well said, and correct.
