If you turn left you're crossing the path of everyone with a green light. But if you turn right it's like merging.
I don't see it that way: when you're merging you're going in the same direction of the traffic you're trying to merge into. At a traffic -light-controlled intersection most of the time you're perpendicular or at an uncomfortable angle.
Then instead think about it like a stop sign at a T intersection. If you're turning left, you have to yield for both lanes. But if you're turning right, you only yield for one.
So you're saying it yourself: it's not like merging. Moreover, at T-intersections there might be some crosswalk, so it's not really true that you yield for one.
lol I've done it again. This was supposed to be a pissed off argument the whole time and I didn't know. I thought you were actually curious about how it works in other countries so I'll stop now.
