If two road signs contradict each other, which one has priority?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
When you encounter **contradictory traffic signs**, it's important to know which one you should obey. The general rule is that you must follow the **most restrictive sign**. This means that if one sign tells you to stop or yield, and another allows you to continue, you must obey the one that imposes more restrictions on your movement.
- For example, if there is 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 indications: you can proceed, but not turn left.
The priority of the signs is based on the need to **ensure safety** and the **proper flow of traffic**. Therefore, priority should always be given to the sign that imposes more restrictions, as its purpose is to prevent dangerous or confusing situations on the road.
