No.
Added: The law varies by state and even by municipality. Some do allow it, and some don't. Since it is not a universally applicable regulation, the best thing to do is check wtih your local DMV office or law enforcement agency.
More Added: Also although it is legal in some states, like Oregon, I tell my drive students it isn't the safest maneuver because once you start your turn the light could turn green causing a car to come straight if you are on a two way street.
Also some police officers don't know it's legal in certain places.
Normally you would turn into the lane nearest you.

No. It is NOT a travel-lane.
No, you should not turn left from the center lane of a three-lane one-way street onto a two-lane one-way street. You should turn from the left lane if you want to turn left onto another street.
From the lane nearest the right hand curb into the lane nearest the right hand curb -UNLESS of course - making a LEGAL left hand turn into a one-way street. Then it would be from the lane closest to the left hand curb into the lane nearest the left hand curb.
You should always only turn from the lane closest to the direction you wish to turn. For example you will turn only from the far left lane if you are turning to the left. If you wish to turn right then you will have to do this from the far right lane only.
Any turn going left from any of the right lanes is an illegal turn. However, if you signal into any of the two left lanes (assuming the white lines are dashed and not solid), you can make a legal left turn from any of the two left turn lanes. Treat it like a four-laned intersection without the street lights and without a lane going straight. You must turn into your lane accordingly.
If you are turning left from a one way street onto another one way street, you can make a left on red. However, they must both be one way streets.You can turn left from either lane so long as you continue into the current lane you are in. As in if you are in the right lane, you must turn left and stay in the furthest right lane. And vise versa.Added: CAUTION - not all states allow left hand turns on red under the circumstances described in the question - unless allowed by posted sign or appropriate traffic signal display.
