At what distance must you signal before making a turn?

You must signal at least 100 feet before making a turn. This distance is specified to ensure that other drivers and pedestrians have enough time to see your signal and react accordingly. Signaling not only indicates your intention to turn but also enhances overall road safety by providing a clear and early communication of your movements. It allows following vehicles to adjust their speed and position, reducing the chance of accidents.

This practice is especially important in urban areas with higher traffic volumes, where drivers are more likely to be in close proximity to one another. Maintaining this 100-foot signaling rule helps facilitate smoother and safer traffic flow.
