blinker light

Directional car lamp

A blinker light is a turn signal on a vehicle—the flashing indicator that shows which direction a driver intends to turn or change lanes.

The term is slightly redundant since blinkers already blink, but it's common in casual speech: Your blinker light is still on.

Also called a blinker or turn signal.
