Is it permitted to signal with your arm that you intend to carry out a manoeuvre?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To perform a maneuver safely, it is important to **notify other drivers** of your intentions. You can do this by using the **vehicle's lights** or by making **hand signals**. Hand signals are valid as long as they are done correctly and are **perceptible to other road users**.
- Hand signals should be made **just before starting the maneuver** and with enough advance notice so that other drivers can see them and react appropriately.
- Although vehicle lights are useful, manual signals can be more effective in certain situations, as long as they are made clearly and visibly.
Therefore, it is allowed to signal with the arm the intention to perform a maneuver, as long as the signal is clear and visible to other road users.
