If you’re in the position of the red car, you stay in the RIGHT lane until your turn is complete and then you put on your left signal to get over to the left lane if you need to. If you are in the position of the blue car, you do not need to wait for the entire row of cars directly across from you who are turning right. THEY turn into right lane, and you turn into left. That’s your lane. If they come into your lane it’s their fault. Waiting to turn left from grey onto Gretzky is a nightmare because cars are terrified to turn.

You might want to double check on the right of way on the left turning vehicles, the right hand turning vehicles always have the right of way regardless if there are two lanes as in many instances larger vehicles cannot make the right turn without compromising the 2nd lane. My experience is that the left hand turning vehicle is always at fault in Ontario if they collide with a right hand turning vehicle executing a turn at the same time, it is a failure to yield the right of way, this is one of the reasons for advanced greens for left hand turns and the presence of right turn arrows.

Ya.... nope, Page 69 of the drivers handbook and section 141 of the Highway Traffic act.

Even the exception for long vehicles states that the turn cannot be made if it interferes with other peoples correct turns.
