Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

You must follow the officer's order. According to Traffic Regulations, there is a hierarchy of signals to resolve contradictions. Orders given by authority agents have the highest priority over any other rule or signal (including traffic lights, vertical signs, or road markings). The priority order is: Agents, Temporary signals, Traffic lights, Vertical signs, Road markings.
