What does this rule or driving tip mean? A traffic controller can adapt traffic flow in response to an incident, event, or roadworks area. That is why their instructions have the highest priority.
How to apply this safely
Reduce speed and make eye contact.
Follow the gesture fully before moving off.
Keep watching for pedestrians and roadworks traffic.
Driving lesson and test tip
Respond calmly. If you are unsure about a gesture, stay stopped until the instruction is clear.
Remember: An authorised instruction takes priority over traffic rules, signs, road markings, and traffic lights.
