Ciao!
Ho guidato un po’ in Finlandia e ho una domanda: perché la maggior parte dei conducenti finlandesi rimane dietro la corsia e non entra nella corsia di marcia? "scatola" o nel mezzo di un incrocio per svoltare a sinistra quando il traffico in arrivo non blocca la strada ovviamente ma preferiscono rimanere un po’ più indietro.
È per ragioni di sicurezza o è solo un’abitudine dei finlandesi.

You should never enter an intersection before you are sure that you’ll be able to exit it.
If, as indicated in your image, there are traffic lights, you might end up waiting in the middle until the lights turn red. That means that crossing traffic will soon have a green light and the car sitting in the middle is blocking the intersection.
In my experience most do drive into the middle of the intersection to wait for a gap.
I think it’s actually in the road rules that you should have no obstructions when entering an intersection, so you’d have to wait behind the line, but I’ve never seen that enforced.
You shouldn’t disturb the traffic on the crossing road according to law. Of course if you see nobody’s coming the “traffic” will not be disturbed but can you be sure an ambulance is not coming from behind a bush 200km/h?
All the advice here is weirdly incorrect. Your post clearly indicates it’s intersection regulated by traffic lights, so you MUST go to the middle to wait for left turn. That is the only way you are not blocking traffic behind you. Also, when lights turn red you get your slot to make the turn without obstructing anyone or having to worry about pedestrians. This also applies even the intersection has a separate turning lane; you are supposed to enter the intersection before the traffic light turns red. In some intersections in Helsinki this is in fact the only way to ever make the turn.
