Hi everyone,
I have been trying to research this question online, and I'm currently re-reading the entire Highway Code to see if I can find the answer (I should probably try the Index first!).
I wanted to know what people think about signalling when turning onto a one way street, for example:
- Code: Select all
|| ▼ ||
|| A ||
|| ▼ ||
|| ==========
|| ► ►
|| - - - -
|| ◄ B ◄
|| ==========
|| ▼ ||
|| A ||
|| ▼ ||
If you are turning left from street "B" onto one-way street "A", do you feel it is necessary to indicate?
My feeling on this particular situation is that a signal would be appropriate if it will benefit someone, like if someone is behind you. But a signal should also not confuse people. Of course, it probably won't confuse people if you signal to turn left at a junction (as in the example above); however, how do you feel about that when turning left is the *only* option because of the one-way system?
Personally, I'd signal. Highway Code rule 103: Use [signals] to advise other road users before changing course or direction, stopping or moving off.
Many thanks.
