Question Analysis

According to the Alberta Driver's Guide, you must signal your intention to turn well in advance, giving other road users (drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists) enough time to react. The signal should be given continuously for at least 30 meters (100 feet) before the turn in urban areas, and earlier if conditions require. This rule applies at all intersections, including uncontrolled ones.

Correct Answer Analysis

Correct Answer: In sufficient time to give other drivers and pedestrians reasonable warning

The correct answer is 'In sufficient time to give other drivers and pedestrians reasonable warning' because it directly reflects the legal requirement to signal early enough to warn others of your intended action, ensuring safety and predictability on the road.

Wrong Options Analysis

Option: Only after you begin turning the steering wheel

Signaling after you start turning is too late; it does not give other road users adequate warning and is unsafe and illegal.

Option: Only if there is another vehicle directly behind you

Signaling is required regardless of whether a vehicle is directly behind you. Pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles may be affected by your turn, so you must always signal.

Option: Signalling is optional at an uncontrolled intersection

Signaling is mandatory at all intersections, including uncontrolled ones, as it is a basic safety measure to communicate your intentions to all road users.
