Question 6689

If two signs of the same type give indications that appear to contradict each other, which one takes priority?

  1. The one closest to us.
  2. The more restrictive one.
  3. The less restrictive one.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The more restrictive one.

If two signs of the same type contradict each other, the more restrictive one takes precedence. The image shows a STOP sign and a yield sign, both upright signs, so you must obey the STOP sign. You must come to a complete stop at the line and then yield. It does not matter which sign is closer.
