What is the straight-ahead signal traffic police hand gesture?
2 Answers
The straight-ahead signal traffic police hand gesture is when the left arm extends horizontally to the left at a 90-degree angle to the body, palm facing forward, fingers closed together, with the face and gaze simultaneously turning 45 degrees to the left; or the right arm extends horizontally to the right at a 90-degree angle to the body, palm facing forward, fingers closed together, with the face and gaze simultaneously turning 45 degrees to the right. Drivers need to pay attention to traffic police hand gestures while operating a vehicle. Below is detailed information about vehicle driving: Overview: Driving a vehicle is one of the essential skills modern individuals should master. To acquire vehicle driving (driving-a-motor-vehicle) skills, one must meet the required age and physical conditions, and complete training and examinations on road traffic safety laws and regulations, basic automotive mechanical knowledge, and safe driving practices. Other: The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be issued by an authorized agency.
When driving in the city, I often see traffic police directing traffic. That straight-through gesture is actually quite obvious—the officer extends their right arm straight forward with the palm facing forward, indicating that you can proceed. Once, I was driving through a particularly congested intersection where the traffic lights were out, and it was entirely up to the traffic police using this gesture to keep vehicles moving efficiently. New drivers might panic and stop or make erratic turns if they don't understand this signal, but once familiar, you'll find it provides clear guidance at chaotic intersections, reducing congestion. I remember one windy day when the traffic signals were unstable, yet the officers still used hand signals to maintain order and ensure safety.
