If a traffic officer keeps their arms extended horizontally, which vehicles are obliged to stop?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This signal from the officer obliges all road users approaching the officer from directions that intersect the direction indicated by their arms (i.e., those coming from the front and back of the officer) to stop. It is important to remember two key points: 1) This signal remains in effect even if the officer lowers their arms, provided they do not change position or give a different signal. 2) In the priority order of signals, orders from officers prevail over traffic lights, vertical signs, and road markings. Therefore, vehicles traveling parallel to the arms are allowed to pass.
