Ch. 1 · 第３節 警察官などの指示に従うこと
When a police officer is directing traffic using hand signals, even if those hand signals differ from the traffic light signals, the police officer's hand signals take priority.
[True / False · Easy]
Answer: True
Explanation
This is correct because Article 1 of the Rules of the Road states: "Even if the hand signals or light signals differ from the traffic light signals, the signals given by the police officer or traffic controller take priority." Police officers' hand signals have priority over traffic lights.
