At a junction, what should a driver follow first to determine priority?

Question image: At a junction, what should a driver follow first to determine priority?
  • A The general priority rules
  • Signs, traffic lights, and agents' instructions
  • C The speed of the other vehicles
  • D The size of their own vehicle

Why this is the correct answer

You must always follow the instructions of traffic agents first, as their orders take absolute priority over all other signals. If no agent is present, you must obey traffic signs (such as stop signs, give way signs, and traffic lights). Only when there is no signage or signal present do the general priority rules apply.
