At what distance should you signal before making a turn?

Signaling at least 30 meters before making a turn is crucial for ensuring safety on the road. This distance gives other drivers and pedestrians enough time to notice your intention to turn, allowing them to react accordingly. Proper signaling helps to maintain a smooth flow of traffic and can prevent potential collisions.

In urban areas or environments with higher traffic density, 30 meters provides a clear indication of your action well in advance, which is typically sufficient for other vehicles and road users to adjust their speed or direction if needed. By consistently signaling at this distance, drivers establish a predictable pattern that benefits everyone on the road.
