Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way whenever it helps prevent collisions.

Explanation
When making any turn, turn from the lane closest to the direction you wish to travel into the first available legal lane. If you are making a left turn from a one-way street, this means that you would make the turn from the lane nearest to the left curb.
