Just like a golf cart enters the car lane to make a left turn, you should move to your right and enter the golf cart lane before making your right turn. This way the golf cart driver and you the car driver will know each other's sequence. So next time you need to make a right turn, put on your right turn signal and slide over to the right a short ways before the intersection in a good position with carts ahead and behind you. You'll find that making right turns will become a cinch.
I don't know that I agree with this. All carts must exit the golf cart lane before an intersection anyway, so there is really no golf cart lane up at the intersection. The intersection would consist of a line of golf carts (who have exited when the golf cart lane disappeared) and cars, all in one lane. I can't think of any four-lane roads that have golf cart lanes, so what need would there be to get into a golf cart lane before an intersection on a single lane street?
