For answer A

Regardless of the traffic intensity, the signal of the traffic light will be respected with priority over the regulatory priority signs.

For answer B

In an intersection directed with light signals in which regulatory priority signs are also installed, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to respect the light signals with priority over the regulatory priority signs.

The meaning of the regulatory priority signs will be respected in the situation in which the traffic lights do not work, or they operate on the intermittent yellow colour.

For answer C

The regulatory priority signs can be installed either on the same support with the electric traffic light, or on a separate support or even on a pole. The method of placement does not change the order in which the traffic lights or the signs are respected. Therefore, regardless whether the signs are installed or not together with the traffic light on the same support, the signal of the traffic light will be respected with priority over the regulatory priority signs.

The correct answer is: B
