Does the signal of the policeman mean that you are obliged to turn right at the nearest intersection?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1, Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 1 and Art. 129 of the Road Traffic Act; § 109 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation on Road Signs and Signals; § 16 para. 2 of the Regulation on Road Traffic Control

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The police officer in the video is using a traffic wand (stop paddle) to point to a specific spot on the roadside. This is a signal ordering the driver to stop the vehicle at the designated location for a roadside check. This is not a traffic direction signal to turn right at the nearest junction, but an instruction to immediately pull over and stop.
