How many seconds should the turn signal be on at most?

There is no specific time limit, but the turn signal should be turned off once the steering adjustment is completed. Additional information: 1. Test content: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. Safe and civilized driving knowledge: The safe and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
I often encounter this situation while driving. When signaling before a turn, you generally need to act quickly. There's no specific time limit in seconds that would make it illegal if exceeded, but according to safety rules, it's recommended to turn or turn off the signal within 3 to 5 seconds after activating it. If you hesitate to turn after signaling, it can mislead drivers behind you into thinking you're changing lanes, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions or conflicts. Once, I forgot to turn off my signal for over a minute, and the bulb burned out, requiring a replacement, which was quite troublesome. Remember to be decisive when driving - act when the signal is on and turn it off immediately after completing the maneuver. This habit makes the road safer for everyone and avoids causing unnecessary trouble for others.
