Are signals made by a driver with their arm to warn of a maneuver considered valid?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, they are valid. According to traffic regulations, drivers should preferably warn of maneuvers using light signals, but they may use their arm as a substitute or to reinforce the light signal. In fact, arm signaling prevails over light signaling in case of contradiction. The fundamental requirement is that the signal must be clearly perceptible and visible to other road users; otherwise, it would not be valid.
