Frequent dangerous illegal right turns on the 101S/Willow exit

I've been seeing a lot of illegal right turn on the 101S/Willow exit especially in the afternoon commute hours in the recent weeks and do not know who to reach out to. For those not familiar with this exit, there is usually a long queue stretching from the previous highway exit to take the 2 right turns from lane 3 and 4. The problem is drivers from lane 3 are not expecting cars from lane 2 to make a right turn and are not looking in that direction. This illegal right turn is not just from regular passenger vehicles but also from the AC Transit Dumbarton Express buses, tech buses, large trucks, etc. I know why people are doing it - to cut the long line of cars trying to make the lane 3 and 4 turn but its dangerous. I am not sure who to contact about this since it's on a highway offramp and in between Menlo Park and East Palo Alto. Has anyone else seen this happening more often recently?
