As far as I understand, the "cycling" hand signals are part of the driver education in
every state. If that is the case, then learning them is a requirement for getting a driver's license.
Note that the "cycling" hand signals are the same as the hand signals for all drivers/operators of vehicles.
The problem isn't that they are not learned but that they are forgotten since the hand signals are largely obsolete (or necessary for very rare equipment failures) for drivers of motor vehicles.
