    Sorry. No. I live outside of an Indiana town with a population of less than 60,000 and not a big tourist draw. Almost no one uses their turn signals here either in town or on the rural roads. The only difference is they break harder before they turn on the rural roads.

      They break harder? I’m not familiar with this term, is it a regional thing?

          Oh, I was thinking of the definition of break, “a noticeable change in direction,” not brake, “to slow or stop by or as if by a brake.” Got it!

              A lot of people do, it just got me in this case because the meaning of break lined up with the action of turning onto county roads, so I thought it was some special thing.
