In response to the traffic officer’s signal, must pedestrians stop?
Signage: Traffic officers
Explanation
Traffic **officers** have the authority to give signals that must be obeyed by everyone, including **pedestrians**. These signals can be given in different ways, such as with the arm, and must be visible from a distance of 150 meters.
When a traffic officer makes a signal with the arm, **everyone approaching must stop**, regardless of the direction from which they are coming. This includes both vehicle drivers and pedestrians. The officer's signal acts as a barrier indicating that no one should proceed until the officer gives another indication.
Therefore, it is important that pedestrians also stop when approaching an officer who is making a signal, thus ensuring safety and order on the road.
