If you encounter two signals of the same type giving conflicting instructions, which one must you obey?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the most restrictive one. According to Traffic Regulations, the general order of priority between different types of signals is: 1) Agents, 2) Temporary signals, 3) Traffic lights, 4) Vertical signs, and 5) Road markings. However, when the contradiction occurs between signals of the same type (for example, two vertical signs on both sides of the road with different speed limits), the one that ensures the greatest safety must always prevail, which is the most restrictive one (the one that prohibits more or permits less).
