Question 6699

At an intersection, does the traffic officer in the image require drivers of vehicles approaching him head-on who have already entered the intersection to stop?

  1. Yes.
  2. No.
  3. Only when he accompanies the arm signal with a long whistle blast.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. At an intersection, an arm raised vertically does not require drivers who have already entered it to stop. They finish crossing and leave the intersection clear. The whistle does not change this, and a long blast signals you to start moving again.
