A.R.S 28-753
Starting parked vehicle
A person shall not start a vehicle that is stopped, standing or parked unless the movement can be made with reasonable safety.
Comment: The law here seems to be just trying to point out that, when you start your car, truck, etc., just be sure it can be done with safety.

Turning movements and required signals
A. A person shall not turn a vehicle at an intersection unless the vehicle is in proper position on the roadway as required in section 28-751, or turn a vehicle to enter a private road or driveway or otherwise turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left on a roadway unless and until the movement can be made with reasonable safety. A person shall not so turn any vehicle without giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided by this article in the event any other traffic may be affected by the movement.
B. A signal of intention to turn right or left when required shall be given continuously during not less than the last one hundred feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.
C. A person shall not stop or suddenly decrease the speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided by this article to the driver of any vehicle immediately to the rear when there is opportunity to give the signal.
Comment: This is the Arizona law that requires you to use a turn signal when turning left or right. Also you must make sure to make turns only in a safe manner. Suddenly braking your vehicle in the road requires some sort of sign or signal (if possible to do so) to drivers behind you.

Hand or arm signals or signal device
A person shall give a stop or turn signal if required by this article by means of the hand and arm or by a signal lamp or lamps or mechanical signal device of a type approved by the department. If a vehicle is constructed or loaded so that a hand and arm signal would not be visible both to the front and rear of the vehicle, the signals must be given by a lamp or lamps or signal device.
Comment: You can actually use your arms to make a turn signal, but if this isn't feasible, then the turn signal built into your vehicle is required.
