Question 6676

The cones in the photograph...

  1. Are used only to mark a new lane.
  2. Take priority over all other signals, except those of traffic officers.
  3. Take priority over all other signals.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Take priority over all other signals, except those of traffic officers.

Cones are traffic delineation devices. Only traffic officers rank above them in the order of priority, so cones take precedence over traffic lights, upright signs, and road markings. In the image, they are on the line separating two lanes, and if they conflict with the painted markings, the cones take precedence.
