Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Road users approaching from both the front and the rear.
With both arms held horizontally, the officer orders those approaching from the front or rear to stop because their path crosses the line formed by the arms. Those approaching from the sides travel in the direction the arms point and do not have to stop for this signal. An arm raised vertically is the signal that orders everyone to stop.
