Which signal indicates you should go straight as directed by a traffic officer?

• A. hand to the left
• B. stick upright with other arm out
• C. palm forwards facing windscreen
• D. hand to the right

Answer: (C)

When a traffic officer signals you, follow their gestures as the instruction you must obey. The signal to go straight is shown by the officer with the hand open, palm facing forward toward you (the driver) and held level as if pointing straight ahead. This clear, flat-palm gesture tells you to proceed straight ahead. Signals with the hand to the left or right indicate turning in those directions, while other gestures are used for different instructions. So the palm forwards facing the windscreen is the go-straight signal.
