At an intersection there is a vertical Stop sign and a Give Way road marking. Which of the two must we obey?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
STOP versus Give Way at an intersection
- General rule: when faced with conflicting signs, obey the **most restrictive** one and follow an **order of priority**:
1) **Traffic officers**
2) **Temporary signing** (roadworks, delineation)
3) **Traffic lights**
4) **Vertical signs**
5) **Road markings**
Application:
- Between a **vertical STOP sign** and a **Give Way road marking**, the **vertical STOP sign** takes precedence.
- Reasons:
- By priority: **vertical signs** (4) come before **road markings** (5).
- By restriction: **STOP** requires a **complete stop**, more restrictive than giving way without stopping.
