American Sign Language:  "subway"


To sign "subway," slide the "Y" hand back and forward underneath the "flat" hand as if showing a subway car moving underground.  Note: This version also works well to refer to "Subway" sandwich shops.

SUBWAY:

     

Sample sentence: YOUR CITY HAVE SUBWAY? (Is there a subway in your city?)


 


SUBWAY (version 2)


SUBWAY (version 3)  NOT recommended

Note:  I use a double movement for subway.  In the CL:3 version above, I aim the train toward my elbow. Compare this version of the sign "subway" to the sign "GARAGE" and you'll see why I don't recommend using this version of the sign "subway.  The palm orientation is a only bit different for garage.
