What is the traffic police hand signal for slowing down?
1 Answers
The traffic police's hand signal for slowing down involves extending the right arm forward to the right with the palm facing downward; the right arm and hand then swing downward in a straight motion, indicating that vehicles should slow down. In other words, when the traffic police's palm faces downward and slowly presses down with an up-and-down swinging motion, drivers should proceed slowly through that section of the road. Signal explanation: The traffic police hand signal for slowing down generally indicates that vehicles should reduce speed. This gesture is not frequently used by traffic police during routine duty but may be employed during security missions or traffic control operations. Detailed explanation: If the traffic police raises the left hand and lowers the right hand, it signals to stop. If the left hand is lowered while the right hand is extended sideways and swung downward, it indicates slowing down. If one hand is raised forward while the other swings below—with the right hand swinging below, it signals a right turn; if the left hand swings below, it signals a left turn.
