Abstract
A vehicle directional indicator is provided for enhancing the safety and knowledge of all persons using roadways, including drivers, pedestrians, and bikers. Depending on the position applied to the directional indicator means by a driver, power can be sent to the left turn signal light or the right turn signal light or the straight ahead signal light. These signal lights include indicator lights on the dashboard, as well as front and rear exterior indicator lights. The straight ahead directional indication is particularly useful at an intersection, where multiple drivers are weighing the directional indicators of the other drivers at the intersection, assured clear distances, oncoming traffic and multiple other traffic patterns, to provide the safest and most timely continued travel.
