To avoid confusing other drivers, you should ensure your turn signal turns off after you finish a turn.

• A. Turn signals should stay on until the next turn.
• B. Make sure your turn signal turns off after you finish a turn.
• C. Never use turn signals.
• D. Turn it off at the end of the day.

Answer: (B)

Clear signaling is essential for riding safely. You use your turn signals to communicate your planned movement to other drivers, and once you’ve completed the turn, the signal should be off so others aren’t misled into thinking you’re still turning or changing lanes. This keeps traffic flowing predictably and reduces the chance of a collision caused by confusion. Some bikes auto-cancel after a turn, but you should still verify the light has turned off and manually cancel if needed. Choosing to leave the signal on until the next turn would mislead other drivers about your actual action, making them react to a change that isn’t happening. Never using turn signals is unsafe and illegal. Waiting to turn signals off only at the end of the day doesn’t address the immediate traffic situation.
