They are found in business districts where left hand turns are common along the entire street. The purpose for the center lane is to allow you to wait to make your turn without impeding traffic behind you. Now many drivers have center lane taboo. This implies a need to leave half your car jutting out behind you while the front end is in the neutral zone. Of course those cars following are now stuck and can go nowhere. Praise be to the inventor of the horn. Robert
