Question 65 in the bank

Is it obligatory to obey the directions and signals of a policeman, even when a certain direction or signal is opposed to the traffic signs?

  1. Yes, except for directions which contradict a stop sign.
  2. Correct answer: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.
  3. No, it is not obligatory to obey
  4. Yes, except for directions which contradict a no-entry sign.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is obligatory to obey with full caution.

A police officer's directions and signals take priority over traffic signs and lights, so you must obey them even when they contradict a sign, including a stop sign or a no-entry sign. The officer sees the actual traffic situation and directs it accordingly. Still, act with full caution, because other road users may not have noticed the direction and may follow the sign.
