Does turning on the indicator always give you priority to perform maneuvers?
Joining traffic
Explanation
Turning on the **indicator** does not grant priority for performing maneuvers. The indicator is a **directional signal light** used to inform other drivers that a vehicle is going to turn or change lanes. Its function is to inform, not to give priority.
Traffic regulations establish that, at **intersections with signals**, the instructions of the signals must be followed and right of way must be yielded when necessary. Turning on the indicator does not exempt from these obligations. Additionally, one should not enter an intersection if there is a risk of getting trapped and obstructing the passage.
Therefore, although the indicator informs other drivers of your intentions, it does not give you the right of way. You must continue to respect the right of way rules and yield when appropriate.
