Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

You must always obey the worker's signal. In the hierarchy of traffic signals, orders from authority agents and authorized road work personnel regulating traffic have the highest priority, prevailing over general rules. Although the general rule states that vehicles coming from an unpaved road (dirt road) do not have right of way, the direct order from the worker overrides that rule temporarily to ensure safety within the work zone.
