Question 6691

What does the traffic officer's signal require?

  1. The orange truck approaching from behind must stop.
  2. Vehicles approaching from the front and from behind must stop, but not those approaching from the sides.
  3. The road users toward whom the officer directs the light must stop.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The road users toward whom the officer directs the light must stop.

When the officer swings a red or yellow light, only the road users it is directed at must stop. Stopping those approaching from the front and from behind is the order given with arms extended horizontally. The orange truck in the image is moving away from the officer, so the order does not apply to it.
