When the signal is given by means of the hand and arm, the driver shall indicate his intention to stop or turn by extending the hand and arm from and beyond the left side of the vehicle in the following manner and such signals shall indicate as follows:
(a) Left turn.–Hand and arm extended horizontally.
(b) Right turn.–Hand and arm extended upward.
(c) Stop or decrease speed.–Hand and arm extended downward.
