Answer

At least 100 feet before reaching the turn
Motor vehicle laws require drivers to signal their intention to turn continuously for a minimum of 100 feet before reaching the turning point. This advance warning allows surrounding traffic and pedestrians to anticipate speed reductions and spatial changes.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard continuous turn signaling requirement for city and residential driving.
Traffic rules require advance notice prior to executing directional changes.
Proper signaling alerts drivers behind and ahead of your intention to slow down and turn.
2
Determine the exact required minimum distance specified by traffic regulations.
The established minimum signaling distance is 100 feet before the intersection.
100 feet provides ample time for surrounding drivers to react without creating confusion about earlier driveways.
