When changing lanes on a freeway, you should:

Signal for at least five seconds.
Signal first and assume there is enough space for your vehicle.
Slow down before you start to change lanes.
Explanation

Always signal at least 5 seconds before you change lanes on a freeway. Signaling informs other drivers about your intention and gives them time to react to your move. Remember that signaling does not give you the right-of-way.
