Glasgow Bicycle Required to Give Hand or Mechanical Signals ordinance (§ 375.070)
Chapter 375: Bicycles, Motorized Bicycles, Electric Bicycles and Skateboards, Roller Blades, Etc · Article I. Bicycles, Motorized Bicycles And Electric Bicycles
In short: Cyclists must signal turns as Section 340.190 requires, but needn't hold a hand signal continuously if they need that hand to control the bicycle. For a right turn, a cyclist may instead extend the right arm horizontally so it can be seen from front and rear.
