In the centre of Melbourne we have a tram system running down the centre of the main street. As you probably know we also drive on the left here too. :)
To accommodate trams and lots of through traffic in the city we have a somewhat unique method for accomplishing a right hand turn at selected intersections. At these intersections, you turn right from the left hand lane (or lane closest to the pedestrian side and not centre of the road!), leaving the right hand lane free for through traffic and the tram tracks clear for trams to progress.
You don't complete your right hand hook turn until the light you are facing goes red and the street into which you are turning goes green.
We are the only place in Australia that has them - so its great seeing interstate visitors trying to turn right in town! haha!
I hope that explains it!
