Good information.

But personally I think it’s important to know that using the right arm and hand, pointing directly to the right, is considered an alternative to the above by the NHTSA.

I use it personally because it eliminates any doubt about turning on a bicycle. Left arm out straight, left turn. Right arm out straight, right turn.
