What is the main characteristic defining signals and orders given by traffic officers?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Signals and orders given by traffic officers occupy the highest place in the hierarchy of road signaling. According to General Traffic Regulations, their indications prevail over any other rule, sign, or traffic light. Therefore, they are mandatory for all road users (both drivers and pedestrians) and must be obeyed immediately. It is incorrect to say they only use optical signals, as they also use acoustic signals (whistles) and verbal orders.
