Which arm signal indicates a right turn?

• A. Arm bent upwards at elbow
• B. Arm straight out
• C. Arm bent downwards at elbow
• D. Arm raised up

Answer: (A)

The turn is signaled by how your arm is positioned so other drivers can clearly read your intent. For a right turn, you show a sharp 90-degree angle with your left arm: the elbow is bent and the forearm points upward, with the hand raised. This raised, bent position is the standard cue that you’re turning right, making you visible to others even if your turn signal isn’t working.

Why the other forms don’t fit: extending the arm straight out indicates a left turn, not a right turn. The arm bent downward signals you’re slowing or stopping. Simply raising the arm upward without the elbow bent isn’t the recognized signal for a right turn, so it wouldn’t communicate your intention as clearly.
