Last week I was turning right at this crossing.
There are 2 lanes turning right.
I was on the out side lane when I noticed a trailer turning left from the other side and I made a near miss.
Which do you think safer inside or outside lane?

and this is another crossing which has 2 lanes turning right(lanes painted red). This one has much much more oncoming trafic from the other side. I often wonder the same question.
Any input from you is welcome.

In this case you saw the trailer, and didn't hit it - job done.

Thanks for your comment. At this crossing, most cars going straight will go over the bridge, and I wasn't careful enough about the traffic turning left from the other side.
