Turn signals must be what color?

Turn signals are required to be amber in color. This standard is in place to ensure visibility and clarity to other road users when a vehicle is signaling a turn or lane change. The use of amber for turn signals is consistent across many jurisdictions because it provides a clear indication of intent without causing confusion with other vehicle lights, such as brake lights, which are red, or headlights, which are white. Additionally, amber lights are recognized universally among drivers as indicators of turning or lane changes, contributing to safer roadways by maintaining effective communication among drivers.
