ABSTRACT:
Directional signaling for automobile vehicles in which vehicle turning is indicated by the flashing of the front turn signal lights and the alternate flashing of the combined brake and rear turn lights. A key operated ignition switch is provided that renders the battery voltage off all direction signaling circuits in the "off" position, allows all directional circuits to be energized with battery voltage in the "on" and the "accessory" positions and permits the key to be removed in both the "off" and "accessory" positions. In one embodiment, relay operated switches in conjunction with a conventional flasher unit provide selective flashing of the left or right signal lamps and disconnects brake lamp illumination on the turn signal activated side. The brake light switch is rendered ineffective when the stop lights are being used as turn signals. In another embodiment, the brake lights are utilized in combination with backup lamps.
