Is Not Using Turn Signals Illegal?
1 Answers
Failing to use the right turn signal when turning right at a red light is a violation of the law and will result in penalties. Article 57 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates the following rules for using turn signals: 1. Left turn: The left turn signal must be activated in advance when making a left turn, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. 2. Right turn: The right turn signal must be activated in advance when making a right turn, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside. 3. Legal provisions: Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states, 'If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic laws or regulations regarding road passage, they shall be given a warning or fined not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan. If this Law provides otherwise, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with the relevant provisions.'
