Stop or Follow Signal
During driving, a police vehicle can issue a stop signal. The light box on the police vehicle displays “STOP” or “STOP POLITIE” in red illuminated letters. You are required to stop.
If you are given the stop signal, proceed to follow the police vehicle and halt at the indicated location.
Note that the signal might be inverted depending where you look at it from.
When the text “VOLGEN” (follow) appears, you should follow the police vehicle until you receive the “STOP” instruction.
