When must you signal for a turn?

Signaling for a turn at least 100 feet before the turn is important for safety and communication with other drivers. This distance provides adequate notice to other road users that you intend to change direction, allowing them to react accordingly and maintain safe distances. It promotes courtesy and enhances road safety by giving other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists enough time to anticipate your actions.

This practice aligns with the principle of providing a clear signal that your intention to turn is imminent, ensuring that everyone on the road is aware and can make informed decisions. Signaling too late can result in confusion and increase the risk of accidents, as others may not have sufficient time to adjust their speed or position on the road.
