I recall a particular intersection where a two-way turns into a one-way that has crosswalks on all sides.

A driver traveling north receives a green right arrow instead of a green globe. I assume this is to make it extra clear not to proceed straight, but then is it technically illegal for a pedestrian to use the rightmost crosswalk?

A pedestrian won't be given the the walk signal while the turn light is green. I'm not sure if this feature would ever appear on an intersection with pedestrian signals.

And a bike lane too. God that's galling. Accident waiting to happen (and I'd be willing to bet it has).
