When starting from a parked position or changing lanes, you should always use your turn signal.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only when turning
• D. It is optional in residential areas

Answer: (B)

Using your turn signal communicates your intent to other road users. When starting from a parked position, signaling lets drivers and pedestrians know you plan to pull into traffic, helping you merge safely. When changing lanes, signaling gives drivers in adjacent lanes enough time to adjust their speed or position, reducing the chance of a collision. This habit is expected by law in most places and applies in all areas, including residential neighborhoods. Always signal early and cancel the signal after you complete the maneuver.
