DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A red flag displayed by an officer from their vehicle indicates that, starting from the passing of said vehicle, the roadway is temporarily closed to traffic for all vehicles and users, except for those being accompanied or escorted by the officers. No one may overtake the police vehicle or drive behind it until indicated otherwise (usually by a green flag, which reopens the road).
