Do the signals given by traffic officers take precedence over vertical signs?

Correct answer

Yes, over any traffic signal or rule.

Yes. Obey signals and orders from officers responsible for traffic control; they take precedence over other traffic signals and rules under articles 133 and 141. A vertical sign or road marking does not justify disobeying an applicable officer’s order. This concerns officers directing traffic, not any informal gesture from another road user.
