If an emergency worker signals you to do something contrary to a regulatory sign, what should you do?

When a trained emergency worker is directing traffic at a scene, their instructions take precedence over regulatory signs. They’re managing real-time hazards and flow to protect people, so following their direction is the safest course. Regulatory signs provide general rules, but at the scene, the worker’s guidance overrides them. Delaying or choosing the sign over the worker’s command can create confusion, collisions, or keep responders from doing their job effectively. If the directive isn’t clear, you should proceed with caution and seek clarification as soon as it’s safe, but do not ignore the worker’s instruction.
