Topic 1 · Introduction
A bicyclist holds an arm straight out, pointing right. This means:
- They plan to turn right — correct answer
- They are warning of a hazard on the road
- They are asking you to pass
Why
Bicyclists may signal a turn with the arm held straight out, pointing in the direction they intend to go. (Section 5, Signaling.)
