Do traffic light instructions have priority over “right-of-way giving” signs?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- No, In legal terms, the instructions of a traffic light and the instructions of traffic signs are of equal effect
- No, but a stop sign has priority over a green light for traffic moving in the same direction
- Yes, traffic light instructions have priority over any type of traffic sign, except for a flashing yellow light
- Sometimes. Traffic light instructions have priority in an urban way only
Why this matters beyond the test: Who has priority at junctions, roundabouts, and left turns -- and why misjudging it is one of the most common causes of real intersection collisions, not just a test question.
