What is the proper hand signal for a right turn?

• A. Arm extended straight out and bent up at the elbow to make a perpendicular angle (hand pointed to the sky).
• B. Arm extended straight out and to the left.
• C. Arm extended straight out and bent down (toward the ground).
• D. Arm extended straight out and to the right.

Answer: (A)

Signaling with the left arm communicates your turning intentions, and the bend of the elbow shows the specific direction. For a right turn, keep the left arm straight out and bend the elbow upward so the hand points toward the sky. This position is easy to see from behind and clearly indicates a right-hand maneuver. A straight left arm out to the left signals a left turn, while a bend downward signals stopping or slowing. Always signal before you begin the maneuver and keep the signal visible throughout the turn.
