Which turn signal is activated when pulling the lever downward?
1 Answers
Pulling the turn signal lever downward activates the left turn signal. Generally, turning the lever upward (clockwise) activates the right turn signal, while turning it downward (counterclockwise) activates the left turn signal. This design aligns with human intuition and operational logic. Below is more related information: Roundabout driving: No need to signal when entering a roundabout, but use the right turn signal when exiting. This is because vehicles must follow the flow when entering, making signaling unnecessary. Signaling right when exiting alerts vehicles behind and oncoming traffic. This is a clear rule in the updated traffic regulations; previously, many drivers used the left turn signal when entering. Use the right turn signal when pulling over to park and the left turn signal when starting from a parked position. The logic is simple: pulling over involves turning right, hence the right signal, while leaving the curb involves turning left, hence the left signal. If your direction doesn't match, it indicates you're driving the wrong way.
