turn signal
Flashing directional light
A turn signal is a flashing light on a vehicle indicating the driver's intention to turn or change lanes.
Also called a blinker or indicator.
The term extends to the lever or switch that activates it: Use your turn signal before merging.
To signal without turning, or turn without signaling, invites road rage.
