Question 63 in the bank

Is it obligatory to obey the directions of a Public Works Department employee in uniform?

  1. No, unless he directs you to stop on the road’s “hard shoulders” only.
  2. Yes, but on urban roads only.
  3. Correct answer: Yes, wherever road pavement or maintenance works are conducted.
  4. No, it is only obligatory to obey a policeman in uniform,

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, wherever road pavement or maintenance works are conducted.

A uniformed Public Works Department employee may direct traffic wherever road pavement or maintenance works are being carried out, and drivers must obey him there. His authority is not limited to urban roads or to stopping on the hard shoulder, and it is not only police officers who must be obeyed. This protects both the workers and drivers passing through the work zone.
