don't know about SVA requirements, but you can get dedicated switches designed for use as indicators. They're OFF in the middle position, then ON to the left and ON to the right.

Check out Vehicle Wiring Products who do one with a Green LED in the switch lever that flases to show when the indicators are on.

Indicators do not have to self cancel.

As already said indicators do not need to self cancel although it's a good idea. Might be worth doing a search in the electrics section for a wiring diagram for sierra switchs . There was one posted recently

... but you need a telltale to show they are on - either a lamp or a buzzer.
