When you see a traffic officer with an arm raised vertically, what order is the officer giving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations (Annex I, traffic officers' signals), the arm raised vertically requires all road users approaching the officer to stop, except drivers who cannot do so under sufficiently safe conditions; if the signal is given at an intersection, it does not require those who have already entered it to stop. That is why the correct answer is mandatory stopping. Saying that it allows passage with priority is a mistake, because this signal does not authorize passage; and saying that it only requires slowing down without stopping is also a mistake, because it imposes a stop and not a mere precautionary reduction of speed.
