The vehicle signal at the intersection is green, but a police officer directing traffic there is giving you a hand signal to stop. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
The law sets which to follow when a traffic light's signal and the signal of a police officer directing traffic differ (Article 5(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Think about which one is judging the situation directly on the spot.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 5(2) of the Road Traffic Act, when a traffic light and the signal of a police officer (or assistant) directing traffic differ, you must follow the officer. Officers signal based on the actual situation, so even on green you must obey a hand signal to stop. Passing through slowly still disobeys the instruction to stop.
