When an intersection is posted with both traffic signs and traffic lights, the instructions of which has the priority over the other?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- Traffic signs always have priority (a traffic light might malfunction)
- A stop sign has priority over a non-flickering traffic light
- A “right-of-way giving” sign has priority over a non-flickering traffic light
- Traffic light signals (except for a flashing yellow light) have priority over a right-of-way sign
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.
