§ 25-395. How turn signals given.

(a)

Signals shall be given by means of the hand and arm or by some mechanical or electrical device approved by the superintendent, in the manner specified in this section. Whenever the signal is given by means of the hand and arm, the driver shall indicate his intention to start, stop, turn, or partly turn by extending the hand and arm beyond the left side of the vehicle in the manner following:

(1)

For left turn or to pull to the left, the arm shall be extended in a horizontal position straight from and level with the shoulder;

(2)

For right turn or to pull to the right, the arm shall be extended upward;

(3)

For slowing down or stopping, the arm shall be extended downward.

(b)

Wherever the lawful speed is more than thirty-five (35) miles per hour, such signals shall be given for a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet, and in all other cases at least fifty (50) feet, before slowing down, stopping, turning, or partly turning. Such signals, however, need not be given continuously if both hands are needed in the control or operation of the bicycle.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, a person operating a bicycle may signal a right turn or pull to the right by extending the right hand and arm in a horizontal position straight from and level with the shoulder beyond the right side of the bicycle and may signal slowing down or stopping by extending the right arm downward.
