If you arrive at an intersection with a vertical STOP sign and a yield road marking painted on the ground, which signal must you obey?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

You must obey the vertical STOP sign. To resolve situations with different types of signals, we must refer to the priority order established in Traffic Regulations: Agents, Temporary signals, Traffic lights, Vertical signs, and Road markings. Since the vertical sign (STOP) ranks higher than the road marking (yield), the vertical sign prevails over the marking painted on the road. The 'most restrictive' rule does not apply here because they belong to different groups; the hierarchy applies instead.
