Question 6489
Authorized personnel from the organization of a sporting event prohibit your vehicle from entering the area where the event is being held; are you required to obey them?
- No, because they are not a traffic officer or civil protection personnel.
- Only if a participant in the sporting event is approaching.
- Yes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. When a sporting event is authorized, the traffic authority may authorize event staff to prevent vehicles and pedestrians from entering the event area. That person acts under the officers' instructions, so you must obey them even if they are not an officer or a member of civil protection personnel. In the image, the person in the yellow vest raises a hand in front of the blue car next to a barrier with a no-entry sign, while runners pass behind them. Find another route.
