ABSTRACT:
A U-turn visual indicator for use on a motor vehicle. The U-turn indicator may be mounted on the rear bank on signaling lights or the front signaling light bank, or both. A protective plastic lens with a bent arrow U-turn icon is placed over a light bulb whose operation is similar to that used in current vehicle turn signal lights. The flashing light from the indicator is independently controlled from within the vehicle by a switch located either on the dashboard or its steering column. Bimetallic contacts may be used to produce the flashing light emitted by the U-turn indicator.
