Question 4119
A traffic officer with arms extended horizontally…
- signals a stop for vehicles whose path of travel crosses the direction indicated by the arms.
- signals a stop only for vehicles approaching the officer head-on.
- prohibits all road users from proceeding, except those already inside the intersection.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: signals a stop for vehicles whose path of travel crosses the direction indicated by the arms.
With their arms extended horizontally, the officer acts as a barrier. All road users whose path crosses the line of the officer’s arms must stop, whether approaching from the front or from behind. An arm raised vertically orders everyone to stop except those already in the intersection.
