    Ahh, I see. I’ve never learned to read the pavement markings in other countries. Didn’t even think about that!

    Yeah, that’s why we use the left arm, since cyclists in this country would be on the outer edge of the road, so right side. Left is straight out, right is a 90° upward arm signal, and slow or yield is a straight arm out at 45° downward.

      In my country we have a lot of roundabouts, and it makes it very hard to see if cyclists are going off or staying on. I’ve always been cautious when I can’t be sure where they are headed, but it’s still annoying when they do turn off. Especially without signalling, but that’s a different story.

      Only signaling with one arm? What is this heresy? /s

      Here it’s right arm horizontal, for going right, like “zooming grandma” in the painting. Left arm horizontal for going left. Left arm up, for stopping. Both legs at 45 degrees for going through puddles. And both arms horizontal, for pretending to be an airplane. Please note, it’s not advised to fly through puddles.
