If approaching an intersection regulated simultaneously by a circular green traffic light and a vertical Stop sign, which signal must the driver obey?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish an order of priority among signals to avoid confusion when contradictory indications exist. The order is: Agents, Temporary and beaconing signals, Traffic lights, Vertical signs, Road markings. Since there is a traffic light (priority 3) and a vertical Stop sign (priority 4), the traffic light prevails. Therefore, you must proceed without stopping. The Stop sign would only come into effect if the traffic light were off or flashing yellow.
