"Left arm to the left (straight out) means left turn. Left arm bent up (shoulder to elbow straight out, elbow to fingers facing up) means right turn. Left arm bent down (shoulder to elbow straight out, elbow to fingers facing down) means stop." That's corrrect. Hand signals were developed in this country for automobiles before the advent of electric trun signals. The driver could only stick his left arm out the window to signal (unless he was long-armed and double-jointed) and therefore the left arm is the correct arm with which to signal. My first bikes and my first four-wheeled vehicle (a 1949 Ford F-100) did not have signals and I got used to hand signals. CAUTION: Modern drivers often do not understand what the signals mean.
