Is a driver obliged to follow the indications of a worker regulating traffic in a roadworks section?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. Although construction workers are not Law Enforcement Officers (police), traffic regulations grant them the authority to regulate vehicle passage in sections affected by roadworks. In the hierarchy of signals, their indications (as circumstantial signals) prevail over general rules and other physical signs to ensure the safety of both workers and drivers.
