These people will all be in official uniform that identifies them as a person with the authority to direct traffic. You can be issued with a fine, points on your licence or a driving disqualification for failing to do as they direct.
These are:
- Police officers
- Traffic officers
- Driving Vehicle and Standards Agency (DVSA) officers
- School crossing patrols
Who are the ‘authorised persons’ who can signal you to stop?
Although there are a number of road users who might give arm signals—car drivers and cyclists among them—there are certain authorised people whose signals you must obey by law.
Beckoning traffic on
Stopping traffic
What hand signals do police officers use?
There are six different types of hand signals that police officers commonly use. Three of them tell traffic coming from different directions to stop; three beckon traffic on. Generally speaking, when using the stop signals, police officers will hold their arms still, but gestures used to beckon traffic on will be moving.
