Explanation
You must obey all signs and signals unless directed by a police officer. In the United States, a law enforcement officer's signal overrides the traffic signal. The officer is considered an authorized person under the law and has the power to direct traffic. Therefore, if a police officer signals you to continue driving through a red light, you should obey their direction and proceed with caution.
