    When making a turn, it is important to signal prior to 100 feet on a regular road. Signaling allows other drivers to anticipate your actions and helps in maintaining a safe distance.

Increasing speed or assuming that traffic behind you will know your intentions can be dangerous and may lead to collisions. Therefore, the correct answer is to signal prior to 100 feet on a regular road.
