Correct answer
All road users approaching from directions crossing the line indicated by the arms.
All road users approaching from directions crossing the line indicated by the arms, whatever their direction of travel. This includes approaches from in front of and behind the officer, rather than only one of those sides. The instruction remains effective if the arms are lowered, until the officer changes position or gives another signal. Officers’ instructions take precedence over traffic lights and other signs.
