Correct answer
No, only those approaching from in front of or behind him.
No. Users approaching from directions crossing the direction indicated by the extended arms must stop, regardless of their direction of travel. With the officer in that position, this means those approaching from in front of or behind the officer, rather than parallel to the arms. The order is not limited to passenger cars. It remains effective after the arms are lowered unless the officer changes position or gives another signal. This is Annex I, section 1.1.b.
