BDifficulty 3/5

A driver approaches an intersection, has not entered it and can stop safely. An officer raises one arm vertically and gives no further instruction. May the driver cross?

Correct answer

No, the driver must stop before entering the intersection

No. Stop at the nearest stop line, if present, and before entering the intersection. A vertically raised arm requires approaching road users to stop, except drivers unable to do so safely; drivers already inside the intersection are not required to stop by this signal. The officer may subsequently indicate another stopping place. Giving way to the right does not suffice, and the driver must not enter to stop in front of the officer.
