Whom does an officer order to stop by raising their hand?
Signage: Traffic officers
Explanation
When a **traffic officer raises their hand**, they are giving a signal indicating that **all road users approaching the officer from the front must stop**. However, it is important to note that this order must be followed **only when it is safe to do so**. This means that if stopping could cause an accident or a dangerous situation, an immediate stop should not be made.
- The signal with the raised hand is one of the **arm signals** that traffic officers use to control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
- These signals are **mandatory** and must be obeyed by all road users, including drivers and pedestrians, as long as conditions allow it to be done safely.
Therefore, the correct answer is that all road users approaching the officer from the front must stop, unless they cannot do so safely.
