Where:
On any road, but particularly in rural areas, near schools, construction zones, or locations where traffic flow may be temporarily managed by a traffic officer.

Purpose:
To alert drivers that a traffic officer is ahead who may be directing, stopping, or controlling traffic.
This is often used in areas where automated signals are unavailable or where unusual traffic conditions exist, such as school crossings, roadworks, or special events.

Action:
Reduce your speed and stay alert.
Be prepared to stop completely if the officer signals you to do so.
Follow all instructions given by the officer, including hand signals or signs.
Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, as sudden stops may occur.
Avoid overtaking near the controlled area unless explicitly permitted.
