Q: How long are you allowed to use hand turn signals in Georgia?
A:
OCGA 40-6-124(a) says you can use hand and arm signals or signal lights. However, if you are on a highway, larger vehicles as described must use lights. Specifically, OCGA 40-6-124(b) requires them
"when the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to the left outside limit of the body, cab, or load of such motor vehicle exceeds 24 inches or when the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to the rear limits of the body or load thereof exceeds 14 feet. The latter measurement shall apply to any single vehicle and also to any combination of vehicles."
