question
            German Police Hand Signals
answer
        1. The basic rule is that traffic parallel to the outstretched arms of the officer may proceed and traffic facing the front or back of the officer must wait.  2. German police officer signals take priority over traffic signals, even if the traffic signals are operating.
question
            Figure 1. German Police Signals (Stop)
answer
        When approaching an intersection, drivers must be alert for a red traffic signal or a police officer standing in this position, which means the driver must come to a complete stop. Note that this officer's signal to stop applies to drivers in front of and behind him, not to drivers to his right and left.
question
            Figure 2. German Police Signals (Stop)
answer
        This police officer is waving traffic through the intersection with his right hand while signaling with his left hand for all traffic in front of him and behind him to wait.
question
            Figure 3. German Police Signals (Attention)
answer
        This police officer standing in the middle of the intersection with one arm raised is signaling all drivers to stop and telling drivers in front of and behind him to prepare to proceed.
question
            Figure 4. German Police Signals (Go)
answer
        This police officer standing with arms outstretched and pointing in the driver's direction is signaling the driver to proceed. The officer signaling the driver to go will stand sideways to the oncoming traffic.
question
            Figure 5. German Police Signals (Go)
answer
        The driver may proceed as long as the police officer continues to wave traffic through.
