Multiple Choice

Regulatory signs must be followed unless directed otherwise by which individuals?

Regulatory signs set the standard rules for traffic, but they can be overridden when an authorized person is directing traffic. In situations like road work or emergencies, police officers, construction workers, and other emergency workers may physically guide vehicles to keep people safe and maintain flow. When they give directions, you must follow what they signal over what the signs say. That’s why the best choice includes construction workers, police officers, or other emergency workers—because these are the people who can legitimately override sign instructions to manage a dangerous or unusual traffic situation. A licensed driver doesn’t have authority to override signs, and a school crossing guard isn’t the broad category described here.
