BDifficulty 3/5

An officer holds both arms out horizontally. Which road users must stop?

Correct answer

Everyone approaching from directions that cross those indicated by the arms.

All road users approaching from directions crossing the line indicated by the arms, regardless of their direction of travel. This includes pedestrians, not just drivers. The signal remains effective after the arms are lowered unless the officer changes position or gives another signal. The exception concerning inability to stop safely belongs to the vertically raised arm signal and must not be transferred to this horizontal signal.
