In addition to the obligation to stop at the signals of the traffic police officer, the road users are obliged to stop also at the signals of the traffic guides of the Ministry of Defence. The latter may perform, besides the stopping signals, also the following signals: the swinging of the arm in the vertical plane, with the palm of the hand oriented towards the ground or with a means of signalling, which means reducing the speed, as well as the brisk rotation of the arm, which means increasing the speed of movement of the vehicles, including hastening the crossing of the road by pedestrians. Failure to comply with their signals is sanctioned with a fine provided in the 2nd class of sanctions.

Stopping at the signals given by the drivers of ambulance vehicles or those of the city hall inspectors is not mandatory. In the case of the drivers of ambulance vehicles, this question does not refer to the special warning signals with blue light and sound, with which the vehicles belonging to the ambulance service are equipped.
