Re: Left hand signal in left hand lane
It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, the law is the same: IF traffic can be affected, you must signal. Whether traffic could be affected in the situation you described is a question of fact and it depends on whether the officer charging in that situation could articulate how traffic was affected.

NOTHING I SAY ON HERE IS LEGAL ADVICE.

Re: Left hand signal in left hand lane
Oncoming traffic would be affected. The oncoming drivers may not see/recognize that there is a designated left turn lane there, particularly at night.
