At an intersection there is a green traffic light and a stop sign — which one should be obeyed?
A)Neither, because they are contradictory.
B)The stop sign, as it is the more restrictive signal.
C)The traffic light, as it is the priority signal.Correct
The order of priority among the different types of traffic signals is as follows:
1st – Signals and orders of traffic officers.
2nd – Temporary signage that modifies the normal conditions of use of the road and fixed delineator signals.
3rd – Traffic lights.
4th – Vertical traffic signs.
5th – Road markings.
Therefore, we obey the traffic light and not the vertical stop sign.
When two signals of the same type — for example, two vertical signs — are in contradiction, we comply with the more restrictive one.
