Motorcycle Group Hand Signals Guide

Motorcycle hand signals provide a way for riders in a group to communicate directions and hazards without speaking. Key signals include: extending an index finger upward to indicate single-file formation; extending the arm with an open palm to signal a left or right turn; and extending the arm at a 45 degree angle with palm facing rearward to signal a stop. Hazards to the left or right are indicated by pointing the left or right foot in that direction.
