When a police officer raises an arm vertically, traffic moving parallel to the front of the officer's body is treated as having a red light.

警察官が腕を垂直に上げているとき、その警察官の身体の正面に平行する交通にとっては赤色の灯火と同じ意味である。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

With the arm raised vertically, traffic parallel to the officer's chest has the meaning of yellow, not red. Crossing traffic is the one treated as red.
