Explanation

For answer  A 

The signal made by the traffic police officer by swinging, at night, in the vertical plane, a device with red light or the fluorescent‑reflective baton means “stop” for the traffic participants toward whom it is directed. This signal does not mean “increasing the travelling speed” as stated in answer A.


For answer  B 

The signal made by the traffic police officer by raising the arm in the vertical plane means “stop” for all traffic participants who are approaching, regardless of the direction in which they are travelling. This signal is a preliminary signal; after it is given, you wait for the next signal of the police officer, such as raising the arms in the horizontal plane.


For answer  C 

The signal made by the traffic police officer by swinging the arm vertically, with the palm facing the ground, means reducing the speed. This signal does not mean “increasing the travelling speed of vehicles or urging pedestrians to hurry crossing the road” as stated in answer C.
