Correct answer
No, the driver must stop before entering the intersection
When a traffic officer has one arm raised vertically, as shown in the image, this signal requires all road users approaching the officer to stop, except drivers who cannot do so safely. The stop must be made: at the stop line, if there is one; if there is no stop line, before reaching the officer; at an intersection, before entering it, although drivers already inside are not required to stop; or wherever the officer indicates after making the signal.
