Question 6706
At an intersection, a driver approaching head-on a traffic officer who has an arm raised vertically must stop their vehicle...
- immediately before the officer, even if they have to enter the intersection.
- before entering the intersection.
- in front of the nearest stop line, even if they have to cross the intersection.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: before entering the intersection.
At an intersection, the officer’s raised arm requires you to stop before entering it. The officer in the image is in the middle of the intersection, and if you continued up to the officer or another stop line, you would end up stopped inside, blocking traffic. You may continue only if you can no longer brake safely.
