After completing a pass, what should you do with your signal?

• A. Keep the signal on after returning to your original lane
• B. Turn off the signal before returning to your original lane
• C. Turn off the signal while still in the other lane
• D. Turn off your signal after returning to your original lane

Answer: (D)

Signaling communicates your intended path to others. When you finish a pass, turn off the signal after you’ve returned to your original lane. This clearly indicates the maneuver is complete and you’re no longer changing lanes. If you turn the signal off too early or leave it on after you’ve finished, it can confuse other drivers or riders—making them think you’re still in the process of changing lanes or planning another move. So you signal during the lane change, and you cancel the signal once you’re safely back in your lane.
