Hand signals

Learn the two hand signals

Copenhagen traffic runs on two signals: an arm stretched out to the side means "I'm turning that way"; a hand raised straight up means "I'm stopping". Use them every time - the rider behind you is closer than you think.

Signal before you brake, not as you brake, and make it visible. It is the language every Copenhagen cyclist speaks.
