What signal is an officer giving when they move their arm up and down intermittently?

Correct answer

Obligation to reduce speed

It orders drivers approaching the officer from the side corresponding to the moving arm, perpendicular to it, to reduce speed, under annex I, section 1.1.d of the General Traffic Regulations. This is not the vertical-arm stop signal and does not contain that other signal’s exception for inability to stop safely. Obey the officer’s instructions and reduce speed safely.
