Zorluk: ZorRegulatory Signs

You are approaching an urban intersection governed by a standard red octagonal Stop sign and a black-and-white regulatory sign indicating 'Right Turn Only'. As you enter the turn lane, a uniformed traffic officer stationed at the center of the intersection actively directs you with hand signals to proceed straight through without stopping. Under standard traffic laws and regulatory hierarchy, what is the legally required action you must take?

  1. Proceed straight through the intersection without stopping, following the traffic officer's hand signals.Cevap
  2. B
    Stop completely at the limit line and execute a right turn as mandated by the posted regulatory signs, disregarding the officer's hand signals.
  3. C
    Come to a complete stop at the stop sign line first to fulfill the regulatory sign requirement before proceeding straight as directed by the officer.
  4. D
    Maintain the posted maximum speed limit while driving straight through the intersection regardless of surrounding vehicle positioning or pedestrian movement.

Cevap

Proceed straight through the intersection without stopping, following the explicit directions of the traffic officer.
Under statutory traffic laws, manual signals given by a law enforcement officer or authorized traffic controller override all posted regulatory signs, lane control markers, and automated traffic signals. Drivers must follow the officer's instructions directly, even when those instructions contradict static signs such as Stop signs or turn restrictions.
