I do not believe that is is lawful to change lanes in the middle of an intersection in any state in the US, regardless of the circumstances.
If you are 'stacked up' in a turn lane PRIOR to the intersection, you may pull out and move into the travelled lane, unless the turn lane is separated from the main travelled roadway by a solid white stripe. THEN, you must complete the
turning maneuver to which you have committed yourself.
When a traffic signal turns green at an intersection and you are going straight through, you must proceed with caution and yield to any pedestrians or vehicles already in the intersection.
When a person is going straight, they typically have the right of way over vehicles turning left or right at an intersection.
a car going from stoplight to next intersection accelerates at a positive rate of velocity change
The vehicle that is going straight has the right of way.
- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
Using common sense any time you change lanes even if all the traffic is traveling with you need to use your signals. Regardless of right of way you must always signal you intentions.
When the light turns green at an intersection, the vehicles that have the right of way are those going straight or turning right. They should proceed first before vehicles turning left or pedestrians crossing the street.
Straight because if someone comes from behind you and hits you, you just go forward not left into other cars while traffics going by.
Of course, you may still receive a citation. However if the light was yellow as you entered the intersection (note that the intersection begins at the limit line or if no limit line then at the first solid line of the crosswalk or if no crosswalk then the point where the intersecting roads meet), then you are not in violation of the red light rule.

Yes, it is a moving violation.
