Turn lanes in both directions at once

Until recently, there was this setup in Wichita.  Basically a two-lane TWLTL.  However, it was recently converted into a "normal" TWLTL.

Business US 127 in St. Johns, MI: Street View link

Apparently when US 27 followed this route, this section had a median and left turns were handled by Michigan Lefts. It was paved sometime in the 70s or 80s, I think, well before 27 (now 127) was moved onto the bypass east of town.

I found something similar in Cleona, PA, but it's even longer. About a mile long, in fact.

What about this one (that technically is a TWLTL?) on NH Route 28 in Salem, from Pattee Rd the "Fun City Trampoline Park Salem" to a little south of Kelly Rd? Been like this for about 16 years now:

What is that, like a double TWLTL?

I have never seen anything like that. If you ask me, that should be restriped to a single TWLTL, shift the travel lanes inward, then turn the remaining shoulder space into bike lanes. There's a road diet I can get behind.

That may be striped for two lanes, but it's barely wider than many regular TWLTL's, like this one on NY 104 (ironically part of a road diet a few years ago).

My PA example above is also quite instructive on this point: pan around and you'll notice the TWLTL is striped for one lane on one side of the intersection and two on the other with no difference in road width. That one is also "doubled" for about twice as long as the NH example, although at least it has standard white stripes adjacent to the lanes instead of yellow.

How about two left turn lanes with room for a TWTL in between? Harrodsburg, KY: https://goo.gl/maps/F7xSzk6nLYKDXH5c6

This used to be two left turn lanes (but has since been striped as a TWTL with through lanes shifting inward to create shoulders), also in Harrodsburg, KY: https://goo.gl/maps/sDtBoe5aSKkBKv4E9
