When there are signals of different types that appear to contradict each other, which one must prevail and be obeyed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on the order of priority established in traffic regulations. You do not choose the most visible or the least restrictive one, but rather the one with the highest priority according to this strict hierarchy: Signals and orders from Traffic Officers (Agents). Temporary signaling and beacons (roadworks, cones). Traffic lights. Vertical traffic signs. Road markings. For example, if a traffic light is green but there is a vertical STOP sign, you must go (because the traffic light has priority over the vertical sign). Only if the signs were of the same type would you obey the most restrictive one.
