Question 4051
The traffic officer in the image has ordered you to stop. You may resume driving...
- when the traffic officer changes position or gives another signal.
- only when the traffic officer gives another signal.
- when the traffic officer lowers their arm.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: when the traffic officer changes position or gives another signal.
If the officer has stopped you with their arms extended horizontally, as in the image, the order remains in effect even if they lower their arms. You may move off when the officer changes position, for example by turning their body, or gives you another signal. Lowering their arms does not give you permission to proceed, and you don’t need to wait for another signal if they have already changed position.
