What hand signal does a cyclist or motorcyclist use to indicate a stop?
The universally recognized hand signal for stopping when riding a motorcycle or bicycle is extending the left arm downward with the palm facing backward. This visual cue is clear and acknowledged by other road users, communicating a rider’s intention to stop or slow down, which is crucial for maintaining safe distances and avoiding potential collisions. Understanding and using proper hand signals helps ensure safety and cooperation among road users.
