The intention of the drivers of motor vehicles to change the direction of travel is signalled by activating the direction indicator lights, at least 50 meters in the urban areas and 100 meters outside the urban areas, before beginning the maneuver. The distance of 100 meters required for signalling the change of direction of travel outside the urban area represents the distance between the place where the intention to overtake is signalled and the place where the maneuver begins. That is, the distance travelled with the indicator operating until the beginning of the maneuver.
