Your traffic light is green, but a police officer standing in the intersection holds up a hand for you to stop. What should you do?
A circular green traffic light appears beside a police officer facing the driver with one hand raised palm-out.
Correct answer: Stop and follow the officer's directions until you are waved on.
Why
Officers often take over intersections after a crash, during a power failure, at events or in heavy traffic, when the signal no longer fits what is happening. The manual lists a traffic officer's order to stop among the times a motorist must stop. The same idea applies in work zones, where a flagger's directions carry the force of a regulatory sign.
