BDifficulty 2/5

At a junction, a working traffic light shows green for your lane and a vertical STOP sign applies to that same entry. There are no officers or temporary signs changing the traffic arrangement. Which indication takes precedence?

Correct answer

The traffic light because it will take priority over the vertical sign.

The traffic light takes precedence over the vertical sign. The order is: officers, temporary traffic-changing signs and delineation, traffic lights, vertical signs and road markings. The more-restrictive rule applies to conflicting signs of the same type, not a light and a STOP sign. Green does not permit danger or entering so as to block the junction; if the light ceased to control traffic, the applicable signing would need to be obeyed.
