It's just common courtesy, as well as the law - even when changing lanes on the highway or taking the exit ramp. I won't single out HN or MA drivers, they are all equally bad.
"Even" while changing lanes? I would say ESPECIALLY while changing lanes. I think (as a motorcyclist in constant danger of getting hit by people that don't notice me) that's the most important time to use them. It's nice to know when someone intends to change lanes, especially when they don't know you occupy the space they are about to move to and failure to get out of their way could kill you. I use my signals pretty religiously.
