Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is regarded as a legitimate traffic sign
A temporary sign posted under the direction of a police officer is a fully legitimate traffic sign and must be obeyed just like a permanent one. The law authorises the police to place temporary signs, for example at roadworks, accidents or events. There are no exceptions for particular signs, so a temporary stop or no-entry sign is binding too.
