One of my pet peeves is people who don't bother getting out of the through lane when making a right turn and then get stuck because of pedestrian traffic. Even without a dedicated turn lane, parking is prohibited for enough space before an intersection to allow one or two cars to pull out of traffic to wait for their right turns. But only a small percentage of drivers actually bother to do that.
Hopefully a dedicated right turn lane in the approach to the intersection will be enough to give even these clueless drivers the right idea...
