This is not an observation, but a proposition. I'm still not good at sign language.

I'm not sure what this means. Do you mean that it seems to you like this should work, but you haven't actually tried it or seen it done?

In fact, I've seen it done with the "wait gesture" (by people who don't know a sign language per se), and it seemed to work well. So I hypothesise that it could work even better if someone knew more signs. But I have yet to put this to test.
