I have seen 3-lane roads where the middle lane switches direction depending on time of day, with clear lit-up overhead signage telling you which lanes are going which direction. During non-rush hours it acts as a standard protected turning lane as you describe.
It's not very good for safety: many drivers forget or don't see the signage, so driving even in the direction the sign tells you you're allowed can be dangerous.

If you cannot obey the 100s of lit signs, youll also be having trouble with hasic red-light intersections. One cool trick is that the center lane can be shut both ways to allow ambulances and cops to rush the bridge when needed.
