Zorluk: OrtaTraffic Officer Signals and Temporary Control Devices

A driver approaches an intersection where the overhead traffic signal is displaying a solid green light. A uniformed police officer directing traffic in the center of the intersection blows a whistle and holds up a hand with the palm facing toward the driver. What action is the driver legally required to take?

  1. Stop completely before entering the intersection and await the officer's signal to proceed.Cevap
  2. B
    Maintain speed and proceed straight because a solid green light takes precedence over manual gestures.
  3. C
    Slow down to perform a rolling yield through the intersection while tapping the horn.
  4. D
    Treat the intersection as a flashing yellow light and proceed cautiously without stopping.

Cevap

Stop completely before entering the intersection and await the officer's signal to proceed.
Directions provided by a uniformed police officer or authorized traffic official always take legal precedence over automated traffic signals, posted regulatory signs, and pavement markings. When an officer holds up a hand with the palm facing approaching vehicles, drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop before the intersection and wait until instructed to move.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the conflict between the physical traffic officer's gesture and the overhead signal.
The traffic light is green, but the police officer is gesturing to stop with an outstretched hand and raised palm.
Recognizing competing traffic control instructions is required to determine legal priority.
2
Apply the rule of traffic control signal hierarchy.
Manual directions given by a law enforcement officer or authorized traffic controller override all mechanical signals, signs, and lane markings.
Traffic officers direct traffic during emergencies, signal outages, or special events, making their commands supreme.
3
Determine the required driving maneuver.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop prior to entering the intersection stop line or crosswalk.
A raised palm facing approaching traffic is the universal hand signal for 'stop'.
