What you need to know about road signs and lights.

Your car’s turn signals and lights aren’t just decorative accessories, but essential tools for road safety. They are how you communicate your intentions to other drivers and pedestrians, helping to prevent accidents and improve traffic flow. Here’s how to use them properly, along with practical tips.

Turn signals: how and when to use them correctly

Activate the indicators:

• To turn left: Lower the turn signal lever.
• To turn right: Raise the turn signal lever.

Important: After turning, the lever usually returns to its neutral position by itself. If it doesn’t, turn it off manually so as not to confuse other drivers.

When you should use your turn signals:

• Before changing lanes: turn it on a few seconds before the move.
• At roundabouts: activate it when exiting the roundabout.
• When parking: both when stopping and when merging, the turn signal must be on.

Common mistake: Not turning off the turn signal after using it creates confusion and risk.
