If a traffic police vehicle positions itself behind you and switches on a device with a flashing yellow light facing forward, what should you do?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
When a traffic police vehicle positions itself behind you and turns on a **flashing yellow light forward**, it is a signal for you to stop. This light is not a simple turn signal, which is used for turning or changing lanes, but a specific police signal for the driver to stop.
- **Stopping** is the correct action because the flashing yellow light in this context is a direct instruction from the police. It is not a common warning light like those used by construction or emergency vehicles.
- Once stopped, it is important to **follow the officer's instructions**. This ensures that you are complying with traffic regulations and cooperating with the authorities.
- You should not slow down and move to the right to facilitate overtaking, nor stop on the left side of the road, as these actions do not comply with the specific police signal to stop.
In summary, when you see a flashing yellow light from a police vehicle behind you, stop and wait for further instructions from the officer.
