Left arm raised, palm forward.
Also known as: Chinese police stop signal
The Chinese traffic officer's signal to stop, given with the left arm raised and the palm turned forward.
Instructs traffic in front of the raised palm to stop.
Contexts: Road signage
Is directional rather than general: the signal stops the traffic the palm faces and says nothing to traffic behind or beside the officer, which is why the officer's body orientation is part of the instruction and not incidental to it.
Contexts: Road signage
A standing figure with the left arm raised upward and slightly forward, the hand open and the palm turned towards the traffic being stopped.
The eight-signal vocabulary this belongs to.
