Directional? Is that what you call blinkers on the east coast?

Only in New England. I've always called them simply turn signals.

I've never heard of directional. I always called them indicators when I was still living there.

From Wikipedia:
Turn signals — formally called "directional indicators" or "directional signals", and informally known as "directionals", "blinkers", "indicators" or "flashers" — are blinking lamps mounted near the left and right front and rear corners of a vehicle, and sometimes on the sides, activated by the driver on one side of the vehicle at a time to advertise intent to turn or change lanes toward that side.
