The intention of the drivers of motor vehicles to change the direction of travel is signalled by activating the direction indicator lights, with at least 50 meters in urban areas and 100 meters outside urban areas before beginning the maneuver. The distance of 50 meters necessary for signalling the change of direction of travel in urban areas 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 functioning until the beginning of the maneuver.
