DentroTest · Accepted Answer

It is crucial to distinguish between the order of priority and the most restrictive signal rule. According to the General Traffic Regulations (Art. 133), the order of priority (Officers Beacons Traffic Lights Vertical Signs Road Markings) applies when signals are of different types. However, when the contradiction occurs between signals of the same type, you must always obey the most restrictive one (the one imposing greater limitations) to ensure safety.
