In Italian traffic rules (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the mandatory action when approaching an intersection where a police traffic officer has both arms outstretched horizontally?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Stop if approaching from front or rear; proceed if approaching from the sides (flanks)

  1. Step 1: Under Art. 43 of the Codice della Strada, a traffic officer with outstretched arms represents a red stop signal for traffic facing their chest or back, and a green signal for traffic coming from their sides. Answer: Stop if approaching from front or rear; proceed if approaching from the sides (flanks). Why not the others: the other options do not conform to Italian traffic regulations under the Codice della Strada.
