Yes, legally it's straight ahead or left, but in practice it slows everything down. If those two lanes turn into a single lane on the other side of the junction then driving two lanes into it isn't going to be any faster - it can only be slower due to the merging friction. And that's ignoring the hazard to cyclists in the left lane. I believe most roads weren't designed for the level and variety of traffic we have today.
