Section: 第３節 警察官などの指示に従うこと
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
Even if instructions given by a police officer differ from traffic regulations indicated by road markings, the road markings take priority.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
Article 2 of the Rules of the Road clearly states: "Even if instructions given by a police officer differ from traffic regulations indicated by road signs or road markings, the instructions take priority." Therefore, the police officer's instructions, not the road markings, take priority, making this statement incorrect.
