Which traffic signals take priority?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
The **orders of traffic officers** take precedence over other traffic signals, such as traffic lights and road markings. This is because traffic officers are trained to manage specific situations in real-time, ensuring traffic safety and flow.
- **Emergency vehicles** (such as ambulances and police cars) must obey the orders of traffic officers, even when they are on urgent duty. This highlights the importance of the officers' instructions, as these vehicles can ignore other signals, but not the officers' directions.
- In complex traffic situations, such as crossings or intersections, officers may give specific instructions to avoid congestion or accidents, which is not always possible with traffic lights or road markings.
Therefore, attention must always be paid to and the instructions of traffic officers must be followed, as their role is crucial in maintaining order and safety on the road.
