At an intersection like the one in the image, with a green traffic light and a vertical stop sign, which one must we obey?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
Traffic light on green in front of STOP sign
- Order of precedence of signals:
1) **Traffic officers**
2) **Temporary and beacon signals**
3) **Traffic lights**
4) **Vertical signs**
5) **Horizontal signs**
- If a **green traffic light** and a vertical **STOP sign** coincide, the **traffic light** is obeyed, because it has priority over vertical signs.
- The **STOP sign** only applies when there is no contradicting traffic light (for example, if it is off, flashing amber, or malfunctioning).
