Therefore, a person riding a bicycle is required to give a hand signal for a right turn in the same manner as the driver of a motor vehicle gives a signal for a right turn, with his or her left arm and hand extended upward.
This bill would authorize a person riding a bicycle to give a hand signal for a right turn with his or her right arm and hand extended horizontally on the right side of the bicycle.
