A vehicle navigation system may comprise a memory including instructions and circuitry configured by the instructions to identify a target vehicle in an environment of a vehicle that includes the vehicle navigation system. The circuitry may receive image data of the target vehicle from at least one image capture device of the vehicle; identify, based on analysis of the image data, one or more situational characteristics of the target vehicle, the situational characteristics of the target including an indication that the target vehicle has an activated blinker; and change a navigational state of the vehicle to allow an action of the target vehicle. The vehicle may be configured to cause the change in the navigational state based on a determination that the one or more situational characteristics, including the activated blinker, indicate that the target vehicle would benefit from the change in the navigational state.
