Question 4591

A traffic officer waves a red or yellow light back and forth; what does it require?

  1. Road users toward whom the light is directed must stop.
  2. To pass on the side corresponding to the arm with which the officer is giving the signal.
  3. To slow down.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Road users toward whom the light is directed must stop.

Swinging a red or yellow light is an order to stop for the road users the officer directs it toward. A yellow light also requires you to stop. Moving an arm up and down is the signal to slow down.
