Giving a signal in advance is essential for safe driving. When you intend to turn, switch on your turn signal well before you begin the maneuver so other road users—drivers behind you, cyclists, pedestrians—can see your plan and react in time. Keep the signal on while you execute the turn and cancel it after you’ve completed the maneuver. Signals aren’t optional on rural roads, and they aren’t limited to intersections with traffic lights; you should use them for any turn or lane change to communicate your intentions clearly. Waiting to signal until after you start turning deprives others of the information they need to stay safe, which is why signaling early is the best practice.
