Direction-indicator lamps[21] or turn signals[10], informally known as "directional signals", "directionals", "blinkers", or "indicators", are blinking lamps mounted near the left and right front and rear corners of a vehicle, and sometimes on the sides or on the side mirrors of a vehicle, activated by the driver on one side of the vehicle at a time to advertise intent to turn or change lanes towards that side.
