Default a traffic dilemma

Assume you are making a left turn from a middle, left-only, lane onto
another multi-lane street.

How soon do you transit to the curb lane after the turn? Right away as part
of the turn? Or as a separate movement from the center lane to the curb?

Now assume not far after the left you will be making another left as
diagrammed by the purple arrows:

Do you stay in the center lane? [blue arrows] Or transit to the curb lane
[red arrows] and then back to the center lane for the second left turn?

If it depends on how far the second left is, then how far is that?


Looking at the map, this is a judgement call situation. The rider
will just have to evaluate the traffic levels on both streets, and
make choices according to what's possible and what's safe. It's
Guelph, not bloody Toronto, so the traffic level isn't likely to be as
murderous as it might be, but only the person in the saddle can see
and respond to what is there at the time.
