Question 4660

If there are two traffic signals of different types with indications that seem to contradict each other, which one takes precedence?

  1. The less restrictive signal.
  2. The more restrictive signal.
  3. The one with priority, according to the order of priority among signals.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The one with priority, according to the order of priority among signals.

If two different types of signs or signals contradict each other, the one with higher priority applies, even if it is less restrictive. In the image, the officer with a raised arm takes priority over the green traffic light. The more restrictive instruction takes priority only when the signs or signals are of the same type.
