If there is a contradiction between the indications of a traffic light and a road marking, which signal prevails and must be obeyed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In the General Traffic Regulations, the order of priority for signals is strict (Art. 133). The hierarchical order is: 1) Traffic officers, 2) Temporary signage and beacons, 3) Traffic lights, 4) Vertical signs, and 5) Road markings. Therefore, the traffic light (level 3) has priority and overrides what is indicated by the road marking (level 5) or a vertical sign in case of contradiction.
