   (A)   No person shall turn a vehicle at any intersection or into an alley or a driveway or onto open land without first giving an appropriate signal for the required distance.
   (B)   Right Turn. A signal to turn right shall be given continuously during the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before turning right. Such signal shall be given either by signal lamp, mechanical signal device, or by hand with arm extended upward from the left side of the vehicle by the driver. However, such signal shall be given only by signal lamp, lamps, or mechanical devices by the driver of any vehicle if the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to the left outside limit of the body, cab or load of such vehicle exceeds 24 inches, or if the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to other rear limit of the body or load of vehicle exceeds 14 feet, whether a single vehicle or a combination of vehicles.
   (B)   Left Turn. A signal to turn left shall be given continuously during the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before turning left. Such signal shall be given by signal lamp, lamps, mechanical signal device or by hand with arm extended horizontally from the left side of the vehicle by the driver. However, such signal shall be given only by signal lamp, lamps, or mechanical signal device if the vehicle is one of such measurements that, if turning right, the driver would be required to signal a right turn only by signal lamp, lamps, or mechanical signal device under division (B) above.
