A1Difficulty 1/5

At a junction, a traffic officer orders you to stop. The traffic light applying to you is green and there is also a vertical STOP sign. Which instruction takes precedence?

Correct answer

The officer’s order to stop.

The traffic officer’s order: you must stop. Under Article 133, signals and orders from officers responsible for traffic control take precedence over other signs and signals. Green does not allow you to disobey the officer; although STOP also requires stopping, the officer’s order takes precedence here.
