CDifficulty 3/5

On the same approach to a junction, a vertical Give Way sign and a STOP road marking give conflicting instructions. No officer, temporary delineation or traffic light gives another instruction. Which takes precedence?

Correct answer

The give-way sign.

The vertical Give Way sign, because vertical signs take precedence over road markings under Article 133. Choosing the more restrictive instruction applies when conflicting signs are of the same type. The order is: officers; temporary signing and delineation changing normal road use, delineating devices and delineation signs; traffic lights; vertical signs; road markings. Giving way can require stopping when needed to avoid obstructing priority traffic; it does not require proceeding without stopping.
