Correct answer

  • CObliga a detenerse a los usuarios de la vía a los que el agente dirige la luz.The road users towards whom the officer directs the light must stop.
Explanation

When an officer swings a yellow or red light, the road users towards whom the officer directs the light must stop. Do not confuse this with the officer moving an outstretched arm up and down, which requires drivers approaching on the side of the arm giving the signal, at right angles to that arm, to slow down.
