Question 2987

The road worker in the photograph is ordering you to stop. Must you obey?

  1. No, because they are not a traffic officer.
  2. Only if vehicles are traveling in the opposite direction.
  3. Yes, because they are authorized to control vehicle traffic in the roadwork section.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because they are authorized to control vehicle traffic in the roadwork section.

Roadwork personnel are authorized to control the passage of vehicles through the work zone. You must therefore obey their instruction to stop, even if they are not traffic officers.
