Speaking of running on the shoulder... A few years ago, traffic lights were installed along an intersection near my home, including a light with a left-turn arrow, but no left-turning lane was added. Here's an old picture from Google Maps:  Recently, the road was repaved and the lines repainted, and there was still no left-turn lane created. People going straight just pass the turning car by driving on the right shoulder, which (IIRC) is legal in this state (PA), but I'm still surprised that the DOT added a turning light without a turning lane. Is this a totally normal thing that I've just never noticed before? (Meanwhile, two miles down the road is a gnarly 4-point intersection with left-turn lanes and regular traffic lights but no left-turn arrows, and the number of accidents that occur there is loving ridiculous -- in the past ten years, I personally have witnessed or seen the aftermath of dozens, and even the traffic lights themselves which sit on poles on the sidewalks have been knocked over dozens of times, too. Turning arrows would solve everything!  But the intersection just so happens to straddle the border line between two townships, so I assume nothing's been done because the townships can't decide who would be responsible.)
