A traffic signal shows green, but a police officer lawfully directs a driver to stop. Which instruction controls?
The driver chooses whichever is faster
The green signal always controls even against a lawful police direction
Both instructions may be ignored
The police officer's stop direction controls✓Correct answer
Explanation
The lawful traffic-control direction takes precedence, so the driver must stop despite the green light. Treating the signal as absolute ignores the rule designed to let authorized personnel manage an unusual or changing traffic situation.
