On a stretch where road works are being carried out and there are no traffic officers, must the instructions of the works personnel be obeyed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations, when there are no law enforcement officers, the personnel in charge of road works may regulate the passage of vehicles with the signs of the Official Catalog of Traffic Signs mounted on a paddle, and users are required to follow their instructions, both for traffic flow and to safeguard the safety of the workers and other users (Articles 141(4) and 60(5)). Therefore, it is mandatory to obey them. The fact that they are not law enforcement officers does not remove that power, nor do their instructions need a preceding vertical sign requiring a mandatory stop: they are binding in themselves.
