Signals For Stops and Turns: All signals must be given at least ____ feet before making the actual move to turn.

• A. 50 ft
• B. 200 ft
• C. 300 ft
• D. 100 ft

Answer: (D)

Giving a turn signal is all about letting other drivers know what you intend to do so they have time to react. In Kansas, you must signal at least 100 feet before you begin a turn or stop. This minimum distance helps cars behind you and approaching traffic anticipate your move, especially at intersections or on busier roads, reducing the chance of sudden lane changes or crashes. A shorter signal, like 50 feet, often isn’t enough time for others to respond safely. Signaling longer than 100 feet isn’t required by law for a standard turn, but the key point is to start the signal before you actually move and keep it on until you’ve completed the maneuver.
