BDifficulty 1/5

At an intersection, a vertical STOP sign and a give-way road marking apply to you, with no contrary higher-priority instructions or signals. Which prevails?

Correct answer

The vertical stop sign.

The vertical STOP sign. Under article 133, vertical signs take priority over road markings. Conflicting signals of the same type are resolved by the more restrictive one. The order starts with officers, followed by temporary signs and delineation devices or signs, traffic lights, vertical signs and road markings. Come to a complete stop and give way as required by STOP.
