Requiring that vehicle turn signals be used when moving right or left or exiting a roundabout.
SB 318 requires drivers to use turn signals when moving right or left within a roundabout or exiting one. It directly affects all drivers operating vehicles in Kansas roundabouts by mandating continuous signal use during these maneuvers. The bill amends Kansas traffic law (K.S.A. 8-1548) to explicitly include roundabout movements under signal requirements, defining a "roundabout" as an intersection with circulatory roadways and yield control. This creates a clear, consistent rule for drivers navigating roundabouts, replacing the previous lack of specific guidance for these situations. The law applies to all drivers using roundabouts, enhancing predictability at these intersections.
