How far must a driver signal before turning?

A driver must signal at least 100 meters before making a turn to ensure that other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, have adequate time to react to the driver's intentions. This distance helps to increase safety by providing a clear indication of the driver’s planned maneuver, allowing others to adjust their speed or position accordingly.

Signaling early is crucial in maintaining smooth traffic flow and reducing the likelihood of accidents. Drivers who signal too late may catch other road users off guard, leading to potential collisions or confusion on the road. Therefore, the 100-meter requirement is a standard practice designed to enhance overall road safety.
