Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The patrol vehicle in all directions and the bus to the right only.
Explanation
The controller's right arm is extended forward, towards the bus: from his chest side only a right turn is allowed, and the passenger car coming from his back may not move. His signals prevail over the traffic light and sign 2.1. The patrol car is given all directions because its flashing beacons and special sound signal are on, but under the current Rules its driver must still obey the controller's signals (Rules, points 16, 20 and 26).
All locales: key gives the patrol car (beacons + siren) the right to go in all directions, but under the arm-forward reading the key needs (bus faces the controller's chest, right turn only) the patrol car approaches from the controller's back; current Rules point 26 lets blue-beacon vehicles deviate from chapter II except the controller's signals. The photo itself shows the controller facing the camera with his right arm to the side, so the posture reading is inferred from the key; under the arms-to-the-side reading the patrol car could still only go straight or right, so the conflict with point 26 remains.
