Question 4337

At an intersection, does the officer in the image require all drivers to stop?

  1. Not those who have already entered the intersection.
  2. Yes, even those who have already entered the intersection.
  3. Only those approaching the officer head-on.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Not those who have already entered the intersection.

An arm raised vertically requires everyone approaching the officer to stop, no matter which direction they come from. At an intersection, anyone who has already entered does not have to stop; they finish crossing and leave the intersection clear. Anyone who can no longer brake safely does not stop either.
