AMDifficulty 3/5

At a junction, R-400b requires a left turn. A moped rider extends the left arm horizontally with the palm facing down. Does the announced turn match the required direction?

Correct answer

Yes; the arm announces a left turn, as the sign requires.

Yes. An arm extended horizontally with the palm down signals movement towards the indicated side, here left. R-400b requires that direction. An arm warning takes precedence over a conflicting light warning, but does not override a traffic sign or confer right of way. Turn only when safe and while obeying other applicable instructions.
