Signals

The Rhode Island law states that a driver must make a signal by hand or by using directional lights when driving out of a parking space and at least 100 feet at a minimum before making a turn.

These are the hand signals to use:

• To turn left: Put left hand and arm straight out, keeping hand and arm still.
• To turn right: Put left hand and arm up, keeping hand and arm still.
• To stop or slow down: Put left hand and arm down, keeping hand and arm still.

All signals should be given in time to let drivers in back of you know what you are going to do.
