How do you give a hand turn signal while driving in Arizona?

In Arizona, a driver gives hand and arm turn signals from the left side of the vehicle: the arm extended horizontally for a left turn, extended upward for a right turn, and extended downward to stop or decrease speed. A bicyclist may instead signal a right turn by extending the right hand and arm horizontally to the right side of the bicycle.
