At an intersection there is a vertical stop sign and a yield road marking. Which one must you obey?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
Stop vs. Give Way at the same intersection
- When signals are contradictory, the following order of priority applies:
1. Orders from traffic officers.
2. Temporary signals and fixed delineators.
3. Traffic lights.
4. Vertical signs.
5. Road markings (horizontal signs).
Therefore, if a vertical STOP sign and a Give Way road marking coincide, the vertical STOP sign prevails.
Useful rule: if they are of the same type, obey the more restrictive one.
