There is at least one poster on this forum who thinks this is the only proper way for a car to make a right-hand turn: merge into the diamond lane at the side, then make your right turn. I don't agree that cars should ever travel in that lane and don't know where the poster got this rule, or theory.
His reasoning is you won't run down a golf cart that's going straight if you're in the diamond lane when you make your turn. My feeling is a car should never be in the diamond lane, and you should be stopped and looking to make sure no golf cart is coming before turning.
But I could be wrong.
