Thank you. And found this...
346.35 Method of giving signals on turning and stopping. Whenever a stop or
turn signal is required by s. 346.34, such signal may in any event be given
by a signal lamp or lamps of a type meeting the specifications set forth in
s.347.15. Except as provided in s.347.15, such signals also may be given by
the hand and arm in lieu of or in addition to signals by signal lamp. When
given by hand and arm, such signals shall be given from the left side of the
vehicle in the following manner and shall indicate as follows:
(1) Left turn—Hand and arm extended horizontally. (2) Right turn—Hand
and arm extended upward. (3) Stop or decrease speed—Hand and arm extended
downward.

My understanding is that several years ago it became legal if not

Remember, the original left hand for right turn was from when cars were
first made and did not have blinkers for signaling. Pretty outdated now...
Recommended?? I would think that the traditional right turn signal
would be preferable both because it's the side a motorist is more likely
to see, and because if I'm going to have only one hand on a brake, I'd
rather it be the right hand if I need to use it.
