(1) TURNING. (a) No person may:
1. Turn a vehicle at an intersection unless the vehicle is in
proper position upon the roadway as required in s. 346.31.
2. Turn a vehicle to enter a private road or driveway unless
the vehicle is in proper position on the roadway as required in s.
346.32.
3. Turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left
upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made
with reasonable safety.
(b) In the event any other traffic may be affected by the movement, no person may turn any vehicle without giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in s. 346.35. A person making
a U-turn shall use the same signal used to indicate a left turn.
When given by the operator of a vehicle other than a bicycle, electric scooter, or electric personal assistive mobility device, the signal shall be given continuously during not less than the last 100
feet traveled by the vehicle before turning. The operator of a bicycle, electric scooter, or electric personal assistive mobility device
shall give the signal continuously during not less than the last 50
feet traveled before turning. A signal by the hand and arm need
not be given continuously if the hand is needed in the control or
operation of the bicycle, electric scooter, or electric personal assistive mobility device.
(2) STOPPING. No person may stop or suddenly decrease the
speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the
manner provided in s. 346.35 to the operator of any vehicle immediately to the rear when there is opportunity to give such signal. This subsection does not apply to the operator of a bicycle
approaching an official stop sign or traffic control signal.
