Remaining stopped is also not a suitable option as it would cause unnecessary delays. Therefore, the correct restriction or speed would be to proceed at 10 MPH and make a report promptly to the dispatcher. This allows for cautious movement while ensuring that the necessary information is communicated to the appropriate authority.
