Of course not. You should legally move over to the turning lane, signal and make your turn, always knowing that any other vehicle occupying the lane has the right of way. You can never legally cut across lanes.

In USA what is the law on merging traffic who has the right of way merging traffic or traffic flow?
In most instances a lane of travel will be marked as the lane that is merging with the other lane or lanes. If so, the lane that is NOT ending has the right of way. When entering a freeway or Interstate roadway, the traffic already on the main lanes of travel has the right of way and the entering traffic has the duty to "merge" safely with the traffic already flowing on the main lanes.

Number 1 lane on freeway?

Which car has the right of way when a vehicle makes a left turn to enter a parking lot?
In Washington State... You will notice that all freeway on ramps have a posted speed limit lower than the freeeway speed limit. When merging onto a freeway, the merger does not have the right of way and must yield to faster oncomming traffic. Now, it's different if you are driving on a road with two lanes where both lanes flow traffic in the same direction. If a two lane highway merges down to one lane the person in the merging lane has the right of way if their vehicle is ahead of you where the two lanes form one. This reply is confusing. The merger (or accelleration) lane is intended for vehicles to get up to the speed of traffic. Although you do have to yield when you enter traffic, you should be able to slip into traffic if you are up to speed. One of the most common reasons people have to stop driving on the freeway is because they can't comfortably speed up to the posted speed limit and still find a gap to enter traffic. The same is true with exiting the freeway. Enter the exit ramp at highway speeds and slow down after you are on the deceleration ramp. Freeways are intended to run smoothly and that is why you should use the ramps to gain speed and to slow down.

If there are 3 lanes on your side of the freeway, the right-hand lane is there for vehicles to merge onto the freeway and it is the place for slower moving vehicles to drive; such as big rigs or cars towing anything. The lane in the middle is the passing lane for slow moving traffic, and it is the lane for primary travel of other than slow moving vehicles. The lane to the far left is for passing only, except when designated for specific use, like a carpool lane.
What are the rules for driving in the diamond lane in California?
A carpool lane is a special freeway lane only for buses and/or carpools. You may use a carpool lane or onramp if your vehicle carries the minimum number of people required for the carpool lane or you drive a low-emission vehicle displaying a special DMV-issued decal. Motorcycle riders may use designated carpool lanes, unless otherwise posted. Signs at the onramp or along the freeway tell you the minimum number of people required for the carpool and the hours the carpool requirement applies. The pavement in this lane is marked with a diamond symbol (◊) and the words "Carpool Lane." These lanes are also known as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Do not cross over double parallel solid lines to enter or exit any carpool lane except at designated entry or exit places. Vehicles towing trailers are typically not allowed to use carpool lanes because they must drive more slowly and are usually restricted to the right-hand lane.
