If a traffic officer repeatedly moves their extended arm up and down, how should the driver act?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to reduce speed. This specific gesture indicates to drivers approaching the officer (on the side corresponding to the moving arm) that they must slow down, but not necessarily stop, unless the officer indicates otherwise later. Signal differentiation: Arm raised vertically: Compels all users approaching the officer to stop. Arms extended horizontally: Compels users cutting across the direction indicated by the arms to stop. Arm up and down: Indicates only caution and moderation of speed.
