Hand Signals On The Road
The "Hand Signals" below are the common and standard signals used almost universally by motorcyclist. During moving formations hand signals have been time tested and proven to be the fastest and most effective technique for communicating directions, formations, movement, pace, and road hazards to other riders in our group. Please learn and use these hand signals when riding in groups or alone, as they are also well known to most motorist also. Share the road and "signal" your intentions.
