Question 4854

When a vertical sign contradicts a fixed channelizing device, the ... takes precedence.

  1. most restrictive sign
  2. vertical sign
  3. fixed channelizing device
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: fixed channelizing device

Channelizing devices, whether permanent or temporary, take priority over posted signs, so you must obey them. In the image, the barrier and cones close the lane even though the blue sign indicates that you must continue straight, so you must follow the barrier and cones. The more restrictive instruction takes priority only when the signs or signals are of the same type.
