Default Oregon judge: Bike lanes don't continue through intersections

According to an Oregon judge, bike lanes don't legally exist in
intersections.

It's a bit odd, because car lanes do, even though (for practical
reasons) they are not marked. If you are driving in a lane just before
an intersection, you are expected to stay in that same unmarked lane
within the intersection and drive in the same lane past the
intersection. On a four-lane road, a motorist to your left is not
allowed to smash into you by changing lanes mid-intersection.

For a bike lane, this judge says it's different:

This sounds like an excellent reason to leave the bike lane before an
intersection and claim the normal vehicle lane.
