At home the rule for turning into multi-lane roads is that you always turn into the nearest drivable lane. That means, in most cases, you can have people turning into a street from both sides of an intersection, or people doing u-turns, without getting in other peoples way.

Is the rule the same here?

Often I've been waiting to turn right onto a multi lane street at the same time as people turning left into that street from the other side of the intersection and had to wait for them all to finish as they're all turning into the lane that is farthest from them. If we both turn into the nearest lane to us we could all go at the same time.
