When should you switch on your turn signal for a turn?
The rule
Turn on your turn signal before you reach the turn, so drivers around you know your plan. Plan the turn early and look all around first.
Signal before you reach the turn so drivers around you can see your plan in time.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 3, page 15. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
