For those still concerned about FRAP, it doesn't apply when preparing to turn left. Neither legally nor as a practical matter, the latter being more important as LDL mentioned.
NH law explicitly states that FRAP doesn't apply in setting up a left turn. I'm pretty sure that's true pretty much everywhere in the US. Drivers often don't understand this, which is why I always signal the left turn even when I'm in a left turn only lane.
