    Can confirm, I have no idea what bike signals even look like (although I presume a hand out to one side means going that way), so doing what cars do would at least give me a good idea of where it’s going.

      At least where I live, Bikes are legally considered Cars in most cases.

      Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is considered a vehicle, just like a car or truck.

      As a cyclist, you:

      • must obey all traffic laws
      • have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers
      • cannot carry passengers if your bicycle is only meant for one person

      Also, this is the official documentation in Ontario for bike signals, not sure how it compares to other parts of the world.
