Why do some American roads have those curved dotted markings? I remember seeing this in Virginia, and I thought it bizarre.

They help guide you turn, I typically only see them on roads with multiple turning lanes.

We have them at quite a lot of intersections here. Drivers are stupid and need guidance.

Winter it's a bad, I've had to beep many times this winter at drivers who can't stay in their lane when turning.

America is the only foreign country that I've seen those sort of markings.

Those lines are in every multi-lane intersection in Australia. In Vic and SA they are solid lines. I think in Queensland they are segmented.

They're all over the place in many European countries:

They do help clumsy drivers, wish we had them here. We sometimes have this instead, which isn't enough, though better than nothing:

Speaking of clumsy drivers, I've been watching Russian road rage videos for an hour now. Blyat.

One hour of seeing road rage gives you relaxation or inspires anger?

I watched a road rage video once where a car turning left was NOT hit by another car.

Amusement mostly.

As Ariete said, amusement. It gets mesmerizing after a while.
