What must you do if a traffic officer extends their arm downwards, inclined and fixed, from their vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This specific signal indicates an order to stop. According to traffic regulations, when an officer extends their arm downwards, inclined and fixed from a vehicle, they are ordering the driver following them (or the road users to whom the signal is addressed) to stop the vehicle on the right side of the roadway. It is essential to perform this maneuver in a safe place that does not create danger and await the officer's instructions. This should not be confused with turn indications or permission to overtake.
