Make a U-turn and go back to the intersection.

Explanation
If drivers reach an intersection and realise at the last minute that they can't make the intended turn because they are not in the correct lane, they should proceed in the direction indicated by their lane until they reach the next intersection. Once they get there, they may make the turn from the proper lane.
