If a traffic officer moves a red or yellow light back and forth, what are they indicating to drivers?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is stop if the light is directed at your vehicle. According to Traffic Regulations, waving a red or yellow light obliges road users towards whom the officer directs the light to stop. Key Points: Selectivity: Unlike a vertically raised arm (which stops everyone approaching the officer), the light is a specific signal directed at a particular user or group. Hierarchy: Remember that signals from officers take precedence over all others (traffic lights, signs, etc.). Safety: You must stop where the officer indicates or, failing that, in a safe location. The other options are incorrect: it does not imply performing a breathalyzer test directly (although the officer may request one after the stop) and it never means to accelerate.
