At an intersection there is a green traffic light and a stop sign. Which one must be obeyed?
Signage: Traffic lights
Explanation
In an intersection where there is a **green traffic light** and a **stop sign**, you must obey the **traffic light**. This is because the traffic light is the **priority signal** in situations where signals contradict each other.
- When you encounter signals that give different instructions, such as a green traffic light and a stop sign, the traffic light takes precedence. This means you can proceed without stopping, as the green light indicates that passage is allowed.
- The stop sign generally requires you to stop to yield to other vehicles. However, in this case, the green traffic light overrides the need to stop, as it regulates the flow of traffic more directly and in real-time.
Therefore, in situations of conflict between a traffic light and a stop sign, the traffic light is the guide you should follow.
