Dear Mr. Utans:#This is in response to your letter of March 26, 1979 requesting our interpretation of whether the turn signal identification symbol which you propose meets the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101-80, *Controls and Displays*. The answer is yes. As long as the turn signal symbol is displayed in the horizontal mode, as shown in Table 1, it will comply with the standard. Small additional arrows that will not be confused with the turn signal symbol may be incorporated to indicate movement of the control. Your thin vertical arrows do not appear to pose any possibility of causing such confusion.#Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel;
