AMDifficulty 1/5

A moped rider encounters a vertical GIVE WAY sign and a STOP road marking applying to the same junction, with conflicting instructions and no other signals. Which takes precedence?

Correct answer

The GIVE WAY vertical sign.

The vertical GIVE WAY sign, because Article 133 ranks vertical signs above road markings. Give way and stop if necessary to do so safely. This does not permit proceeding without observing traffic or mean that the signs cancel each other out. Conflicting applicable signals of the same type are resolved by the more restrictive one.
