Obedience to the signs is one of the topics in the Traffic signage block of the Spanish DGT theory. How signage works: types of signs, the order of priority between them and the duty to obey them. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that except in special circumstances that justify it, users must obey the prescriptions indicated by the signs, even when they appear to be in contradiction with the rules of conduct in traffic.
The order of priority between signs (officer, traffic light, vertical sign, road marking) is key; many questions are solved just by recalling it.
Except in special circumstances that justify it, users must obey the prescriptions indicated by the signs, even when they appear to be in contradiction with the rules of conduct in traffic.
