Driving & Driving Test Tips: Continuous Lane, traffic department, intersections

Question
There is a large intersection near my office that is very confusing and people at the office cannot agree on who has the right of way. There is a ramp that comes off a major city bypass and there is a stop light at the bottom of the ramp. The ramp has three lanes (two lanes can go left and one can go right). The problem is the right lane. It is a continuous lane--there is no merge or yield sign. At a red light, most people don't stop and they continue on. However, some people have to stop because they have to get over four lanes to turn left at the next intersection. It is a very short distance between intersections. The other problem is most of the cars coming through a green light in the other direction have to get over into the continuous lane to turn right. The people coming down the ramp feel they have the right of way because the lane is continuous and the people coming the other way feel they have the right of way because of the green light. I am always cautious in the intersection but I don't want to get a ticket either and I really don't know what is the right thing to do. Can you help?

Answer
The intersection appears, from your comments, to be controlled by lights,  If people run the light then there is nothing you can do.  as to getting over, it sounds as if there should be something done by the traffic department (you should contact them), other then that you just have to drive defensively as best as you can to avoid a collision.
