The light was green, but a police officer signalled me to stop by hand, so I stopped.

信号機は青を示していたが、警察官が手信号で止まれの指示をしていたので、停止した。

This statement is TRUE

Explanation

True. When a police officer gives a hand signal that differs from the light, you follow the officer, not the light. The rule exists for when an accident or a fault makes the lights unsuitable.
