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:

    “I turn my head to sky rains falling,
    wash the wounds of numbness from my soul.
    Turn my heart in tides of fierce renewal,
    where love and rage run whole.
    Come drink deep.”
    —Carolyn McDade (20th century)

    “There is only room in the lifeboat of your life for one, and you always choose yourself, and turn your parents into whatever it takes to keep you afloat.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
