The intention of the drivers of motor vehicles to perform the maneuver of overtaking is signalled by activating the direction indicator lights at least 50 meters in the urban area and 100 meters outside built-up area, before starting to perform the maneuver.

The distance of at least 50 meters in the urban area signifies the distance between the place where we signal the intention to perform the maneuver and the place where the maneuver is started, meaning the distance travelled with the indicator functioning until you start performing the maneuver.
