AMDifficulty 1/5

An officer raises one arm vertically to order a stop. Who is addressed by that signal?

Correct answer

To those approaching from any direction, subject to the regulatory exceptions.

To those approaching the officer from any direction. Annex I, section 1.1.a, excepts drivers unable to stop with sufficient safety and, when the signal is made at a junction, those already inside it. Stop at the nearest stop line or, if none, immediately before the officer; at a junction, stop before entering. It is not limited to those approaching from behind.
