And it's also red. I hate red turning indicators, they should be amber.
They are required to be in other countries. At some point we decided red was ok and there's so many problems with that!
This is how the indicators look in the UK
These are aftermarket taillights.
I'm pretty sure the UK ones are animated as well in the direction of travel which makes it even clearer.
Yup that's worse... Somehow that's worse.

Please tell me this is a joke
yeah, I had to get used with the lack of regulations here and there when I moved to the US

Can you explain because I'm 46 years old and have driven plenty and can't recall a single time I've ever been confused by a turn signal.
This video is better at it than I could be. But I'm short: ambiguity in driving is bad.

Amer is harder to notice
Amber has been scientifically proven to be easier to notice, and mildly safer than using the same bulb as the brake light to indicate a turn.
Here's a paper on it. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811115
This paper contains data relating to the effectiveness of amber turn signals by comparing striking and struck cars with the same configuration (amber or red), and the odds of not getting struck with an amber turn signal equipped vehicle is always about 4-8% better than otherwise.
Thanks for this. I see so many people here talking like it's obvious, but I've never been confused by a turn signal. I'm curious to read this.
not for me i really do have a harder time notices amber
Unless you have some kind of color blindness, orange is among the most noticeable colors to the human eyes, especially in an urban background
it more just the training, from 20 plus years of driving, and looking out for red and orange but yellow colors.
