How Far in Advance Should Turn Signals Be Activated?

[BrielleRose]

Under normal urban traffic conditions when making a turn, turn signals should be activated more than 10 meters in advance (generally 3-5 seconds before turning the steering wheel). On highways, signals should be activated 50-100 meters ahead. When overtaking, ensure the following vehicle has a visual distance of over 5 seconds before signaling. Activating turn signals at intersections: When approaching a standard flat intersection, drivers should activate turn signals in the intended direction of travel at a distance of 30-10 meters from the intersection, depending on road width, traffic volume, and current speed. Regulations clearly stipulate: Motor vehicles must activate turn signals 100-50 meters in advance when turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making U-turns, or pulling over to the roadside.
