On the roads on which works are carried out on the carriageway, persons may be designated/authorized for directing the traffic on the respective road section, in which case you have the obligation to respect the signals they address to you. Failure to observe their signals is sanctioned with a fine provided in the second class of sanctions.

The signal by the brisk rotation of the arm, carried out by the authorized personnel from the area of the works on the public roads, obliges you to increase the speed of movement. This signal must be respected by all traffic participants.

The authorized personnel from the area of the works on the public roads may carry out only three types of signals: stop signals, speed reduction signals and speed increase signals.
