Questions Learners Have About Traffic Hierarchy

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Traffic Hierarchy, including how questions match the official theory exam in Iceland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the highest authority in Icelandic traffic control?

In Iceland, police officers' signals always take precedence over all other forms of traffic control, including traffic lights and road signs.

When do temporary road signs override permanent ones?

Temporary road signs, such as those for construction or special events, always override permanent signs and markings, as they address immediate, changed conditions.

How should I react if a traffic light is red but a police officer waves me through?

You must obey the police officer's signal, as it overrides the traffic light. Their instructions are the highest authority.

What is the lowest level of traffic control in the hierarchy?

General traffic rules, such as the right-hand rule, apply when no higher-priority controls (police, temporary signs, traffic lights, permanent signs) are present.

Are new priority and special rule signals covered in the hierarchy?

Yes, the new categories introduced by Regulation no. 250/2024, including priority and special rule signals, fit into the hierarchy, typically at the permanent sign level or higher depending on their specific nature and context.
