If you want to turn right at an intersection, you should activate your turn signal:
|
50 feet or more before the intersection.
|
|
|
As soon as you reach the intersection.
|
|
|
When you start turning.
|
|
|
100 feet or more before the turn.
|
Explanation
Before making a turn, you must signal your intentions at least 100 feet in advance using either your turn signal (blinker) or a proper hand signal.
This 100-foot minimum is required in most states and gives other drivers time to see and respond to your movement. Signaling early-rather than at the last moment-helps prevent confusion and reduces the risk of a collision.
