The vehicle signal at the intersection is red, but an exemplary driver directing traffic at the intersection is giving me a hand signal to proceed. What is the correct way to drive?
When a traffic light's signal and the signal or instruction of a police officer, etc. differ, you must follow the police officer, etc. (Article 5(2) of the Road Traffic Act). The key is whether an exemplary driver is included in 'police officer, etc.' (Article 6 of the Enforcement Decree), and whichever signal you follow, checking around you is basic.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Article 6, item 1 of the Enforcement Decree, an exemplary driver is a police assistant. Article 5(2) of the Road Traffic Act requires following the signal of police officers, etc. (including police assistants) when it differs from the traffic light. So giving priority to the traffic light or ignoring the hand signal is wrong, and you should still check the surroundings while proceeding.
