The convoy with priority regime will always have in operation special audible and light warning signals of red colour which oblige the road users to stop in the direction of travel as close as possible to the edge of the road, and when it is encountered at the intersections, it has the obligation to give priority.
Therefore, when you encounter an official convoy, regardless of whether the traffic police officer who accompanies the convoy extends the arm with or without reflective baton on the right side of the police motor vehicle, you have the obligation to stop immediately on the shoulder or, in its absence, as close as possible to the edge of the road or the curb of the sidewalk, in the direction of travel.
