Correct answer
At 150 metres
At a minimum distance of 150 metres. Officers must wear conspicuous clothing and use retroreflective devices or elements enabling road users to distinguish them at that distance, under the General Traffic Regulations. The rule concerns their visibility; it does not establish that every gesture can always be interpreted from exactly that distance.
