Road signs, markings and traffic controlQuestion #14966
What does the traffic controller's signal mean when one arm is raised upward?
Explanation
The controller's arm raised upward is the equivalent of the amber traffic light, but with a stricter rule. The signal forbids all road users from moving and requires drivers to stop. Only those who can no longer stop safely may continue.
KET reference: KET 77.3: arm raised upward: all road users are forbidden to move in any direction; drivers must stop without changing lanes.
