Correct answer
when the officer changes position or makes another signal.
If a traffic officer has ordered us to stop with their arm extended horizontally, we may only resume driving when the officer changes position or makes another signal indicating this. This officer's signal obliges all users approaching from directions that cross the line indicated by the arm to stop, regardless of their direction of travel. The signal remains in force even if the officer lowers their arm. Therefore, we must remain stopped until the officer changes position or makes another signal clearly indicating that we may continue.
