BDifficulty 2/5

An officer’s horizontally extended arms have required you to stop. They then lower their arms without changing position or making another signal. What should you do?

Correct answer

Remain stopped until the officer makes another signal.

Remain stopped. The signal remains in force after the arms are lowered unless the officer changes position or makes another signal. Do not treat lowering the arms as permission to move or replace the continuing order with a traffic light or vertical sign. This scenario places you among the road users subject to the stop instruction.
