The traffic light is green and a traffic officer orders you to stop. What should you do?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
When a **traffic officer** gives a signal, it takes **priority** over any other signage, including traffic lights. This means that even if the traffic light is green, if an officer indicates that you must stop, you must do so.
- Officers' signals are **mandatory** and must be obeyed immediately.
- An officer can use their **arm** or a **light** to indicate that drivers must stop.
- The officer's signal acts as a **barrier** for approaching vehicles, and this order must be followed until the officer indicates otherwise, even if they lower their arms.
Therefore, in situations where an officer and a traffic light give contradictory instructions, as in this case, the **officer's signal** is the one that must be followed.
