How to indicate turns that inconvenience others
I recently hit a routing issue which made me turn left a couple blocks before a major intersection (and right, left again) seemingly to help me not get stuck in the left turn lane at the major intersection ahead, which was probably 2-3 light cycles wait.
What happened though, was, I practically blocked one lane of 2 at the heat of the rush hour, as I couldn't make an easy turn with the oncoming heavy traffic either, and maybe in theory I may have saved 30 seconds on the upcoming major intersection.
All is good, but I would rather not be *that* guy. I would like to somehow indicate this to the system, but don't know how to make that change. The turn is technically "allowed" but quite asinine to do.
Is there a proper way of indicating this other than ignoring it and hoping that others ignore it too, hoping the automated system will pick it up?
