Which signal indicates turning left?

Which signal indicates turning left?

• A. palm forwards facing windscreen
• B. End of 20 mph zone
• C. stick upright and diagonal
• D. hand to the left

Answer: (D)

The key idea is the standard hand signal for a left turn: extend your left arm straight out to the left side, with the hand visible to other road users. This clear horizontal signal communicates your intention to turn left, even if your indicators aren’t working or aren’t visible to everyone. The other options don’t match this recognized cue: one option describes a palm position that isn’t the recognized left-turn signal, another isn’t a standard traffic signal, and the remaining one is a road sign about speed limits, not a hand signal. Keep the arm straight and level, signaling well before you reach the turn.
