Question 5503
What must a pedestrian do if, when about to cross a road, they find themselves facing a traffic officer with an arm raised vertically?
- Stop, unless a traffic light gives them the right-of-way, in which case they must cross.
- Cross. Officers' signals are only binding on vehicle drivers.
- Stop.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stop.
An arm raised vertically requires everyone approaching the officer to stop, including pedestrians. The woman in the image must stay on the sidewalk even if her traffic light is green, because the officer’s orders take priority over traffic lights.
