A bicyclist ahead of you holds the left arm out to the side with the elbow bent and the hand pointing up. What does the rider plan to do?
An enlarged hand-signal detail shows bicyclist B with the left upper arm out, elbow bent and hand pointing upward. The right hand remains on the handlebar. No other vehicle, traffic route or intended turn direction is selected.
Correct answer: Turn right.
Why
Drivers use the same arm signals from the left window (S.C. Code 56-5-2170). A rider may not signal when both hands are needed on the handlebars, so also watch for clues such as a head turn or a look over the shoulder. Give the rider room to complete the turn.
