What does the signal made by a traffic officer swinging a red or amber light mean?

Correct answer

Obligation for all users towards whom the light is directed to stop.

It requires the users towards whom the officer directs the light to stop, under Annex I, section 1.1.c. The criterion is whom the officer directs the signal towards, rather than merely being on the same road or travelling towards a visible light. It does not simply require slowing down or changing direction. Obey the officer’s subsequent instructions.
