I worry about the same thing. Hand signals are supposed to be taught and can be a question on the written test here and for every state I've ever checked. However a large percentage of the population here are taught to drive by their parents, older sibling or other family member. So they don't get any instructions much other than on the aspect of actually driving the car.

When I am coming back up the street that turns into my neighborhood, this is where I'm worried the most about it. Usually as I near the turn I'll get as far left in my lane as I can. And if none is coming the other way, I sometimes even get in the opposing traffic lane for the last 50 to 100 feet so as to prevent the car from trying to pass on my left just before I begin my left turn.

Though that itself has some other issues. But visibility is good for other traffic ahead and for traffic coming out of the neighborhood. So it's a case of YMMV.
