According to the iWeb Corpus, this sentence is correct. Ex: For example if I wanted to signal to the world that I have a lot of emotional problems I could dye my hair blue and put one of those disgusting bull-ring things through my nose. We wanted to signal to our users that D2L is new and different. We wanted to signal to our users that D2L is new and different. This is primarily used when the store will automatically delete idle sessions and this method is used to signal to the store the given session is active, potentially resetting the idle timer. These events signal to everyone concerned that the price can be increased without hurting sales. Besides, you can say "signal something", but "signal somebody something" or "signal somebody that" is rare even if it is acceptable. Ex: We felt guilty about switching away from the time-intensive activity of buying, signing and addressing snail-mail cards, and worried that the email would signal others that we viewed our time as too valuable to spend on a card. Inspired by the unique system of international maritime signal flags, our Expedition Flag represents a highly visible or subdued way for you to be noticed and signal others that you are where you are.
