A form of virtue signalling found in online far right circles where one tries to gain as much ideological street cred as possible by connecting themselves to highly traditional and conservative groups/ideas from the past. Typically this takes the form of bragging about being devoutly christian with lots of kids, a stay at home wife, and links to famous historical figures in thier anscestry, or in some cases to posess a particularly pure white anscestry thats even better than anybody elses whiteness.
Trad-signalling often utilizes some pretty overt undertones regarding racial purity and proving whiteness. This often backfires hilariously when prolonged association reveals the individual to be complete hypocrites/frauds who can't actually live up to the ideas and values they supposedly espouse. This phenomenon is particularly common in the many alt-right and racial extremist groups operating on chat services like telegram or discord.

Get the signal failuremug. An indication between two individuals making love indicating that it is time to change to new positions. After awhile, the turn signal often becomes just a silent indication...
My girl and I have been together long enough that when we make love, just a subtle movement is all that's needed as a turn signal.

Get the Turn signalmug. A virtual world created by racists in which any criticism of their world can't possibly be because they are wrong, but because their critic is "virtue-signalling".
A cosy world that filters out all real world racism and replaces it with stunning graphics portraying realistic snowflakes and liberal elites.

Traffic-control devices dat light up all weird --- i.e., randomly flash and/or have several conflicting colors/symbols invalidly illuminate at once --- may be malfunctioning thus because da people operating/maintaining said contraptions have "had a few too many" in da way of screwdrivers and highballs.
A bartender can be equally confused/frustrated as a bewildered motorist at a malfunctioning traffic-light if a patron at his pub sends mixed signals --- i.e., voices conflicting instructions on how he wants his drink prepared --- as well.
