Must the signals and orders given by traffic officers always be obeyed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. In the order of priority for traffic signals, law enforcement officers hold the top position (level 1). This means their signals and orders prevail over any other rule, vertical sign, traffic light, or road marking, even if they seem to contradict them (for example, ordering you to pass while a traffic light is red). Their authority is necessary to regulate traffic in special situations, emergencies, or congestion. You must obey both their optical signals (arms, lights) and acoustic signals (whistle).
