    Am I the only one deeply irritated that the left going lane has no arrows and no one is indicating left either?
    This intersection really hurts my sense of order!

      Some people don’t indicate when the lane they’re in can be used only to go one way. It’s not necessarily the best course of action, but you just sorta learn to deal with it

      has no arrows

      How do you know? They’d all be obscured by the cars.

        Should be visible on the first panel, unless painted totally randomly out of sync to the right-pointing arrows.
        But that would also trigger my sense of order, soooo… :-)

        Maybe the arrows are covered by the cars.

        Not in the first panel.
        If there were arrows, they should be visible in parallel to the arrows going to the right.

        Why would it be a left-only lane?
        There are no arrows on the lane…

        And even if it was, you still have to indicate your desired direction, as the direction of the lane might not be clear to all traffic participants.

          Because going forward would lead you into the railing and grass. You can literally only make a left or illegal right.

          You’re the reason we have to add “coffee is hot” warnings on take away cups, mate.

            You can literally only make a left or illegal right.

            Why would turning right be illegal?
            As far as we can see, it is a lane with no mandatory direction (which is the thing that has been bugging me in the first place).

            But, TBF, I believed that myself for a long time, only to have the called police give me a little crash course in traffic lane rules after I had a car crash in a somewhat similar situation…
