Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
According to the Massachusetts handbook, how far in advance should you signal a turn on an ordinary roadway and on a highway?
Correct answer: At least 100 feet on an ordinary roadway and 500 feet on a highway.
Why
Signal at least 100 feet before an ordinary turn and at least 500 feet before a highway turn, as the Massachusetts handbook instructs. Signal before braking when practicable so others can understand your plan. The statutory duty is to give a plainly visible signal of the intention to turn or stop; these handbook distances are not permission to make an unsafe maneuver.
