Question 6697

When the traffic officer gives the signal, must pedestrians stop?

  1. No, only vehicle drivers must stop.
  2. Yes, when they approach the officer from any direction.
  3. Only if they approach the officer head-on.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, when they approach the officer from any direction.

Yes. The officer in the image has an arm raised vertically, and that signal requires all approaching road users to stop, regardless of which direction they come from. Pedestrians are road users too, so they must not cross even if their traffic light is green.
