If a traffic officer keeps their arm extended horizontally, which road users are required to stop?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This signal requires all road users (including pedestrians) approaching the officer from directions that intersect the imaginary line indicated by the extended arm or arms to stop. It is important to remember that this order remains in effect even if the officer lowers their arm, provided they do not change position or make a different signal. It is equivalent to a red traffic light for those approaching from the front or back of the extended arm.
