In Danish road signs and markings, if both a STOP sign (B20) and a traffic light are present at an intersection, which takes legal precedence?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The functioning traffic light takes precedence over the traffic sign
- Step 1: Under Færdselsloven § 3, the hierarchy of traffic regulation is: police signals override traffic lights; traffic lights override traffic signs; and traffic signs override general priority rules. Answer: The functioning traffic light takes precedence over the traffic sign. Why not the others: When traffic lights operate, priority signs like STOP or B11 are inactive; they only govern if the light is switched off or flashing yellow.
