    good morning!
    may I ask here if you still need to turn your signal light ( to the right) if you are in a lane that is designated( and with traffic sign) / or exclusively for vehicles turning right only?

    Yes. It is always best to let other drivers know what you i tend to do. Lalo na sa mga kamote riders.

    Yes. As others have said, it removes ambiguity for those who doesn't understand road signages and right of way.

    MCs (at least most of them), tends to back off if they see your turn signals. Otherwise, they'd just squeeze between you and the gutter if they even remotely think that you're not going to turn right.

    I do so too. Every turn I make, I use the turn signals even if I am in a dedicated turning lane. Some MCs though, when they see that you are turning, uunahan ka pa nila para di mo sila maabala sa pagingit singit nila.

    it is not legally required, because one has right of way.
    but i do it anyway, because, as the others have said, it's safer.

    Doc totoo.. Hays.. Salamat talaga at ganun lang ang nangyari..
    Same nung sa taas.. ginagawa ko din yun.. Nagsisignal pa din ako kahit obvious naman na pakaliwa or pakanan lang ang kalsada sa unahan.. Maganda kasi na maging habit yun (well for me) para default na sa mind ko na basta liliko signal muna.. Kapag meron pa ako i-add na exception sa logic ng brain ko.. Baka dun sa kalsada na need magsignal malimutan ko kasi may mga moments na di ko ginagawa..
    Nakakatawa pero kahit palabas ako ng parking namin sa bahay sumisignal ako.. Kahit wala ako kasunod sa likod signal pa din.. Hahahaha

    Better to use turn lights gawa nga ng mga MC riders.
