What should drivers do when an officer is directing traffic where the traffic lights are operational?
Traffic lights are strategically installed at intersections to efficiently control vehicle flow and reduce the likelihood of crashes. All road users, including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, must comply with these signals unless otherwise instructed by a traffic officer. In cases where an officer is actively managing traffic, their instructions take precedence over the signals to ensure safety and coordination among road users.
