Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.
A police officer's directions and signals take priority over traffic signs and lights, so you must obey them even when they contradict a sign, including a stop sign or a no-entry sign. The officer sees the actual traffic situation and directs it accordingly. Still, act with full caution, because other road users may not have noticed the direction and may follow the sign.
