Hand Signals - Right Turn

Right Turn

UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Russia, Australia, US and Canada (see below)
Extend right arm straight out in the direction of the turn, parallel to the road.
US and Canada, (optional)
Extend your left upper-arm out to the left, parallel to the road and angle your forearm vertically upward. This follows automotive practice. The Uniform Vehicle Code in the US recognizes both this signal and the arm to the right signal for cyclists. State traffic laws generally conform to the Uniform Vehicle Code, but exceptions may exist.

Arm to the right has the advantage that it is more visible to any traffic likely to be affected, for example vehicles in the next lane to the right or also intending to turn right.

Famous quotes containing the word turn:

    “Though trees turn bare and girls turn wives,
    We shall afford our costly seasons;
    There is a gentleness survives
    That will outspeak and has its reasons.
    There is a loveliness exists,
    Preserves us, not for specialists.”
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    “Let the Brazos
    Freeze solid! And the Wabash turn to a leaden
    Cinder of ice! The Marañon is too tepid, we must
    Is freezing slowly in the blasts. The black Yonne
    Congeals nicely.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
