Left turn

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

Grab at the brake with only two fingers.

Be made of a heavy material.

Fit loosely enough that they flap in the wind.
