When should a driver indicate they are making a turn?

A driver should indicate they are making a turn at least 100 feet before the turn to ensure that other road users, including pedestrians and other vehicles, have enough time to react to the driver's intention. This practice enhances safety by clearly signaling the driver's actions, reducing the likelihood of accidents and enabling smoother traffic flow.

Indicating a turn early gives following vehicles adequate notice to prepare for the maneuver, which is especially important in busy traffic situations or when driving at higher speeds. By adhering to this guideline, drivers contribute to a safer driving environment and promote awareness of their intentions among other road users.
