Some people seem confused on how to use Hand Signals, when in their carts or on their bicycles Since this is a pet peeve of mine, I share the following information.

LEFT TURN
Extend your left arm out sideways with all fingers extended or use your index finger to point left. (Your arm should be perpendicular to your body.)

RIGHT TURN
Extend your left arm out sideways bent at a 90-degree angle at the elbow joint, hand pointing upward and the palm of hand facing forward.

STOPPING OR SLOWING
Extend your left arm or right arm sideways and bend your arm at a 90-degree angle at the elbow joint, hand pointing downwards and the palm of your hand facing backwards. (Some people confuse left turn signals and slowing stopping signals, neither is with the arm at a 45º angle from the shoulder.)

I hope that my post helps to clear up some confusion over hand turn signals.
