On the roads where works are carried out on the carriageway, persons may be designated/authorized for directing the traffic on that road sector, in which case you are obliged to respect the signals they address to you. Failure to respect their signals is sanctioned with a fine provided in the 2nd class of sanctions.

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