No.

You need blinker laws (i cycle every day pullig my son on a bafang rearwheel i built myself on a ti frame).

I am next to the passenger door of a right on red turnig vehicle and there is plenty of communication and observance going on... yet leaving from the other side of the street can become an issue if i dont know the driver is turning Right in from of me. So a blinker is needed and Often not used because they may be in a turn only lane and not think its needed.

Im not saying to be like minnesotans and use a blinker while on a exit ramp but yeah.

Another issue is dark tint. It really ought be where,,, if you have it you have a special permit so you are trained to Look: safety on the road stems from eye contact and obsevance.

Turning cars dont look both ways on a one way yet bicycles and pedestrians travel two ways on a one way.
