Turn signal question

I've linked a quick diagram in regards to my question, but I'd like to see what r/law has to say. Must you use a turn signal while merging to the on-ramp. The first x is where I believe I was popped. The second black x is where I merged onto the road, followed by me signalling my intention to enter the expressway. Of course the red x is where I was pulled over.

Do you have to use signals on both x's?

Slight diagram of the case

Just in case, I'll attach the reason why I ask all of this.
