A person in a wheelchair, must they obey signals from traffic officers and traffic lights when travelling on the hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas?
Traffic rules
Explanation
People in **wheelchairs** must obey the signals of **traffic officers** and **traffic lights** when traveling on the **shoulder** of a road outside of town. This is because, although people in wheelchairs are considered **pedestrians**, they are required to follow traffic regulations when moving along the shoulder.
- The **shoulder** is the lateral part of the road where motor vehicles should not travel, but certain vehicles and pedestrians, such as people in wheelchairs, can.
- People in wheelchairs must travel on the **right** and follow traffic rules, which includes obeying the signals of officers and traffic lights, to ensure their safety and that of other road users.
Therefore, it is important that people in wheelchairs always follow the instructions of officers and traffic lights when traveling on the shoulder.
