If you observe both a Stop sign and a Yield sign at the same location of an intersection, which signal must prevail?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations establish an order of priority to avoid confusion. In this specific case, dealing with two signs of the same type (both are vertical signs) giving different instructions, the rule dictates that you must always obey the most restrictive one. The Stop sign (mandatory stop at all times) is more restrictive than the Yield sign (stop only if necessary), so the driver is required to come to a complete stop.
