signals-markings
How far in advance must a driver signal before changing lanes, turning, or stopping?
- At least 25 feet
- At least 50 feet
- At least 100 feet
- Only after beginning the maneuver
Answer: At least 100 feet. Hawaii requires the signal at least 100 feet before a lane change, turn, or stop. Fifty feet and 25 feet provide less notice than the stated distance, while signaling only after movement begins defeats the purpose of warning nearby road users. At higher speeds, the manual advises signaling for a greater distance. Think of the signal as advance communication, not a last second confirmation. Check that the maneuver is safe as well, because a signal does not grant priority or permission to move into another vehicle.
