In a roadwork zone, if an authorized worker indicates that you must stop, are you obliged to obey them?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. According to General Traffic Regulations, in sections affected by roadworks, authorized personnel (workers) have the authority to regulate the passage of vehicles. Their indications must be obeyed by all road users, acting as a circumstantial signal that modifies the normal regime of road use. Their orders prevail over other general rules or fixed signs, as their function is to ensure safety and traffic flow in a temporary hazardous situation.
