A police officer can signal traffic to stop by using hand signals or using their patrol vehicle's emergency lights and siren. They may extend their arm out to the side with their palm facing the traffic, indicating that it should stop. They may also use their police vehicle's lights and sirens to grab the attention of the drivers and indicate they need to stop.

yes the law does say you have stay stopped just stop and the go if no other traffic is comingANS2:In the U.S., a flashing red light at an intersection is treated as a stop sign. Some states permit motorcyclists to treat a non-changing signal as a stop sign if the pavement sensor does not detect them. At an intersection with a malfunctioning signal, the intersection is treated as a 4-way stop. For other situations, if you are certain that you can convince the police officer who stops you for running the red light that you waited a reasonable length of time and you didn't interfere with opposing traffic, the officer might not cite you. The law says that you don't enter the intersection on red unless directed by police.
