Correct answer
delineation signs.
Traffic signs are classified into five main groups. This order determines which sign takes precedence if there is any contradiction or conflict between signs of different types. According to this order, vertical traffic signs have greater priority than road markings (horizontal signs). 1. Signs and orders from traffic officers: indications given by traffic officers, with the highest priority. 2. Temporary and fixed delineation signs: these include temporary signs such as cones and fixed signs indicating changes in the normal use of the road. 3. Traffic lights: these control the flow of traffic at junctions and other points. 4. Vertical traffic signs: conventional traffic signs found on posts along roads, such as stop signs, give-way signs and speed limits. 5. Road markings: lines and other symbols painted on the road surface.
