Correct answer
An obligation for vehicles crossing the direction indicated by the arm to stop.
It requires road users approaching from directions crossing the arm’s indicated direction to stop, whatever their direction of travel. It remains in force if the arm is lowered without a change of position or another signal. The inability-to-stop-safely exception in the vertical-arm signal must not be transferred to this horizontal-arm signal.
