That's a fun article! Allow me to add my technique from Florida, where lane-splitting is both illegal, and highly dangerous (apparently Latin males consider lane-splitting to be a direct insult to their family).
Rather than splitting the lanes directly, I like to do the LTL Feint. Simply proceed along the Left Turn Lane as though you were going to turn left, signal on. As you arrive at the intersection, smack your forehead (or helmet) with your open palm with an "oops" expression. Switch your turnsignal off and cut in front of the first car in the through lanes. If you time it right, you can arrive at the intersection just as the left turn lane signal goes red and the through lanes go green!
