Talking with cyclists it's actually the opposite. It works in the sense that if someone is turning right they will get into the right lane and essentially self block a bicycle from pulling past them on the right side (if a cyclist did that they have a high likelyhood of getting hit as they are pulling into the cars blind spot... Then traffic starts moving and the right turning car just goes and suddenly there could be a bike there).

so I saw this comment like a week late after I bought my first adult bike yesterday, and this makes a ton of sense. I'm super worried about getting fucked while crossing an intersection while on a bike because of people turning right especially now. Good to know, thank you!
