Correct answer
Comply with what the sign indicates.
At signalled intersections, the general rule that prevails is to comply with what the signs indicate. This means that the instructions given by traffic officers, traffic lights, vertical signs, and road markings must be followed to determine priority at the intersection. Signage priority: The signage present at the intersection takes priority over general right-of-way rules. This includes instructions from traffic officers, traffic light signals, and vertical signs or road markings. Intersection safety: Following specific signage at intersections is crucial for road safety and helps prevent accidents by clarifying which vehicle has the right of way.
