If there are two signs of the same type with indications that seem to be contradictory, which one has priority?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
When you encounter **signals that seem contradictory**, it's important to know which one you should obey. The general rule is that you must follow the **most restrictive signal**. This means that, between two signals giving you different instructions, you must obey the one that imposes more limitations on your movement.
- For example, if you see a **Stop sign** next to a **yield sign**, you must obey the Stop sign, as it is more restrictive.
- In the case of a **green traffic light** and a **no left turn sign**, you must follow both instructions: you can continue straight or turn right, but not left.
These rules ensure that traffic is safer and more orderly, especially in situations where signals may cause confusion. Always prioritize the signal that limits your actions the most to avoid infractions and maintain safety on the road.
