Road signs
In places on the public road where there may be a danger to traffic or where traffic is subject to special precautions or restrictions, and whenever it is advisable to give users any useful indications, the traffic signs listed in the Traffic Signs Regulations are used, which may not be accompanied by decorative motifs or commercial advertising of any kind.
On the other hand, the Highway Code and other complementary legislation contain rules indicating how to proceed on public roads, rules of responsibility and safety measures to prevent violations of the legal order.
Classification of traffic signs and their hierarchy
There is a hierarchy between traffic regulations, i.e. certain signs take precedence over others.
In this way, the prescriptions resulting from the signs take precedence over the traffic rules, and the signalling hierarchy is as follows:
1st - Orders from traffic regulators.
2nd - Temporary signs modifying the normal regime of road use.
3rd - Variable message signs.
4th - Illuminated signs.
5th - Vertical signs.
6th - Road markings.
7th - General traffic rules
