This is a large inflatable fist with the thumb poking up. The thumb has a light at the ball. At the wrist end there is a fist sized hole to put your hand in. When standing at the side of the road you can be seen from a long way off and your intention is clear.

now that's what I call a thumb [xenzag, Nov 17 2008]

I used to travel all over the USA on my thumb 'twixt 1970 and 1980 - I could have used one of these to improve my already great stats.
