If the traffic light turns green and the officer keeps their arm raised, may you proceed?
A)Yes, because the green light allows me to.
B)Yes, as long as I let all vehicles pass before crossing.
C)No, because the officer's signal takes priority over the other two signs.Correct
An officer with their arm raised vertically requires all traffic to stop. The order of priority among the different types of signs that appear to contradict each other is as follows:
1. Signals and orders of traffic officers.
2. Circumstantial signs that modify the normal rules of road use and fixed delineation signs.
3. Traffic lights.
4. Vertical traffic signs.
5. Road markings. Therefore, in the case shown in the image, we must always obey the officer before the traffic light or the vertical stop sign, as the officer takes precedence over all other signs even when they are in contradiction.
