on a bike, you don't have to do that. to go left stick your left arm out, to go right stick your right arm out. when I see bikers doing the left arm right signal I chuckle to myself
Perhaps there are angles where using the left arm (traffic side) to signal is more visible.

The Oregon driver's manual specifically allows either.
