When must signals and orders from traffic officers be obeyed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Signals and orders from traffic officers have the highest priority in the hierarchy of road signaling. They must always be obeyed immediately by all road users, taking precedence over any other rule or sign (such as green traffic lights, priority signs, or road markings), even if they appear to contradict them. This applies in any situation and location on the road, and is not limited exclusively to dangerous situations or intersections.
