Is it a violation to not use the turn signal when making a right turn?
1 Answers
Not using the turn signal when making a right turn is a violation. Precautions for making a right turn: Pay attention to the straight-going vehicles on the left. When making a right turn, observe both the right and left sides for vehicle conditions. Be mindful of oncoming left-turning vehicles. In addition to watching for straight-going vehicles, also check for any left-turning vehicles from the opposite direction. When turning right, always observe the vehicles on the left and yield to them, whether they are turning left or going straight. Watch for pedestrians. When making a right turn, besides the crosswalk before the intersection, there may also be a crosswalk at the corner. Be sure to check for pedestrians on the crosswalk. Rules for U-turns: Motor vehicles can make a U-turn at locations where there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns. If there are traffic signs clearly indicating U-turns during red or green lights, the U-turn should be made during the specified signal period.
