Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, even if his directions contradict those of a road sign.
A police officer who is not in uniform but shows a valid identification certificate is still a police officer, and his directions must be obeyed. A policeman's directions take priority over road signs, traffic lights and road markings, because he responds to the actual situation on the road. The duty is not limited to traffic police or to directing traffic at intersections.
