At an intersection there is a green traffic light and a stop sign. Which one must be obeyed?

Correct answer

The traffic light, because it has priority.

At an intersection with a green traffic light and a stop sign, the traffic light must be obeyed because, according to the order of priority among traffic signs, it has priority. This is because when signs of different types appear to contradict one another, the rule is to follow the sign that has priority according to the established order. If they are of the same type, the more restrictive sign must be obeyed. In Spain, under the current traffic regulations, traffic lights take priority over vertical stop signs when they conflict. ORDER OF PRIORITY AMONG TRAFFIC SIGNS: Orders from traffic officers regulating traffic. Temporary signs and fixed delineation signs. Traffic lights. Vertical signs. Road markings.
