When you carry out the stopping manoeuvre, do you have to signal it in any way?
Joining traffic
Explanation
To perform a **stopping maneuver**, it is important to **properly signal** to inform other drivers of your intentions and ensure safety on the road.
- When you are going to stop the vehicle, you must **turn on the turn signal** on the side you are going to move towards. This is crucial so that other drivers know you are going to stop and can take the necessary precautions.
- The **R.S.M. safety rule** indicates that when changing lanes, direction, or course, you must use the turn signal on the corresponding side. This also applies when you stop, as it is a change of direction towards the side where you are going to stop.
- It is not enough to turn on the position or parking lights, as these do not clearly and immediately communicate the intention to stop. Position lights are used in low visibility situations or when the vehicle is parked, but not to signal a stop while moving.
Therefore, the correct way to signal a stopping maneuver is by using the **turn signal** on the side where you plan to stop.
