Question 6693

You stop your vehicle upon seeing a traffic officer with an arm extended horizontally; you may resume driving when the officer...

  1. lowers the arm.
  2. indicates it with another signal.
  3. blows short, frequent whistle blasts.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: indicates it with another signal.

The order to stop given with an arm held horizontally remains in effect even if the officer lowers it, so you must not start moving just because of that. Wait for another signal, such as a long whistle blast, or for the officer to change position. Short, frequent whistle blasts, on the other hand, are an order to stop.
