Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, it is required.
Yes. The turn signal must stay on throughout the maneuver, including while you are stopped at the traffic light waiting to turn. This lets others know in advance what you are going to do. In the image, the white passenger car on the left is waiting at a red light with its left turn signal on. If you turn it off and switch it back on when you start moving, you are signaling too late.
