How should you signal a right turn?

To effectively signal a right turn, the standard method is to use the right turn signal or extend your arm upward. The right turn signal alerts other drivers and pedestrians of your intention to make a right turn, providing them with the necessary information to react appropriately and safely. This method of signaling helps ensure that everyone on the road is aware of your movements, contributing to overall traffic safety.

Using other options, such as honking your horn, may confuse other road users as it does not clearly indicate your intended action; honking is typically used to alert others to your presence rather than signal a turn. Turning on hazard lights serves a different purpose, indicating a potential hazard or emergency situation rather than communicating a specific intention to turn. Waving with your left hand is not a recognized signal for a right turn and could create misunderstandings or misinterpretations among other drivers. Therefore, using the right turn signal or arm position is the recognized and most effective method for indicating a right turn.
