Question 5941

Except in special circumstances, every road user is required to obey traffic signs...

  1. even when they are not posted on the road on which they are traveling.
  2. only when they do not contradict the rules.
  3. even when they appear to contradict the rules.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: even when they appear to contradict the rules.

Unless special circumstances justify otherwise, you must obey a sign even if it appears to contradict a general traffic rule. In the image, the cyclist must not enter that road, even if the general rule would allow it, because there is a no-entry sign for human-powered cycles (ciclos). The signs you must obey are those on the road you are using.
