Are there instances where you’re not supposed to turn right at an intersection with a green light? At this intersection, the main road has four lanes while the side road has two. I was on the main road (four lanes, two per direction) turning into a side road (two lanes, one per direction).
Context: Rental car, Tokyo. Nav told me to turn right at the light which turned green. It was not a right-only lane. I got a lot of honks while I waited for cars on the opposing side to pass so I could turn.
I want to confirm what went wrong. My thoughts were I was not making enough space to my left for cars in my lane to pass me, since I notice Japan drivers do this. However, there was no space for me without blocking the opposing lane and causing a collision.
