Tangential: what's the difference between "signaling" and "indicating", and why does this post say "signal" rather than "indicate"?

(Perhaps "signaling" is American, "indicating" is British, and "blinking" is the colloquial term worldwide?)

"Signaling" is a term that we've given a more precise definition than the other two.
