As a cyclist, I always want cars to have a blue flashing indicator opposite the yellow turning signal, such that if you're turning right the right side flashes yellow (amber) and the left side flashes blue.
If I'm biking on one side of the car, I can't often tell why it's slowing down suddenly like it's about to turn when its signals are hidden on the other side. It's 50/50 whether it's turning the other way, or about to turn right into me and didn't bother to signal.
On a related topic, why aren't turning signals standardized to be the outermost light? I hate it when signal are inside of the headlights, because, again, I get people turning into me and I can't see their signal.
- bad_username 3y agoThis is why I'd like cars to be able to signal "I am going straight". Today it's unclear if they go straight or simply forgot to signal. On a bike guessing wrong can be very dangerous, so one has to err on the side of caution, which is inconvenient and has its own dangers.
