Abstract
A vehicle turn signalling apparatus unambiguously signals the direction of a turn by a simultaneous initiation of energization of a right-turn indicator lamp and a left-turn lamp, one in a flashing mode of illumination to signal the turn direction, the other in a steady mode of illumination to provide a positional reference for the flashing lamp. Such provision permits close spacing of the turn indicator lamps from one another, and thus renders the apparatus particularly well-suited for use on bicycles and mopeds.
