Right of way between traffic lights and temporary roadwork delineation
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In traffic, there are different types of signs with a **hierarchy of priority**. When two signs give **contradictory instructions**, you do not obey both, but rather the one that has **higher priority**.

The order of priority between types of signals is:

1. **Orders given by law enforcement officers** (police, Civil Guard, etc.).
2. **Temporary road signs and delineation** that modify the normal use of the road
(for example, cones, barriers, temporary works panels, diversions, etc.).
3. **Traffic lights**.
4. **Vertical signs** (traffic signs on posts or fixed panels).
5. **Road markings** (paint on the carriageway).

Therefore, if a **traffic light** and a **temporary delineation element** (such as cones, fences, temporary panels) give different instructions, **temporary delineation always takes precedence**, because it is above the traffic light in the order of priority.

In addition, when dealing with **signals of the same type** that appear to contradict each other, you must obey the **most restrictive** one.
