When must the use of direction indicators to signal a lane change end?
Overtaking
Explanation
To understand when the light signaling should end when changing lanes, it is important to know the correct use of the **direction indicator light**. This light, which is yellow and blinks, is used to warn other drivers that you are going to change direction, lane, or turn. It is mandatory to turn it off once you have completed the maneuver.
- **Turn on the indicator light**: You must turn it on before you start changing lanes to alert other drivers of your intention.
- **Turn off the indicator light**: The light should be turned off when the vehicle has fully adopted the new trajectory, that is, when you are already in the new lane and have finished the lane change.
Therefore, the light signaling should end **when the vehicle has adopted the new trajectory**, thus ensuring that the lane change has been completed safely and clearly for all road users.
