Yes, it's the law in most of the state's roads.

Left lane is for passing. All turns from right lane.

Except that in theory, it prevents the very accident scenario that spawned this thread.

But not signalling to tun into your laneway must be a capitol punishment, because a lady died for doing it, and people are condeming her for not signalling.

I pass on the double yellow, but not if I am in town, near peoples driveways, or when traffic slows suddenly, as if someone were turning up ahead.
