Question 439
At an intersection with a green traffic light and a stop sign, which must you obey?
- Neither, because they contradict each other.
- The stop sign, because it is the most restrictive sign.
- The traffic light, because it takes precedence according to the order of priority.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The traffic light, because it takes precedence according to the order of priority.
In the order of precedence, traffic lights take priority over posted signs. Therefore, if a green light and a stop sign give conflicting instructions for the same approach, you must obey the traffic light.
