If you encounter two signs of the same type with contradictory indications, which one must you obey?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the order of priority established in the General Traffic Regulations, when there are contradictions between signs, two fundamental rules apply: If they are of different types, the one higher in the hierarchy prevails (Agents Temporary/Balise Traffic Lights Vertical Signs Road Markings). If they are of the same type (as in this question), the most restrictive one always prevails; that is, the one that prohibits more or imposes a stricter limit, for safety reasons.
