When approaching an intersection where a traffic officer has an arm raised vertically, what maneuver must be carried out?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations (Annex I, 1.1(a)), an 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. Saying that you may continue only if you do not intend to go straight is incorrect, because the stop applies to all users who approach, whichever direction they are going. Slowing down and crossing with caution is not correct either: the signal does not indicate caution, but a mandatory stop.
