If a police officer's instruction about how to proceed conflicts with a road sign or road marking, you must follow the sign or marking rather than the officer.

警察官が通行の方法について指示をしたとき、その指示が標識や標示による規制と違っていれば、標識や標示のほうを優先しなければならない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

The rule says the officer's instruction prevails even when it differs from the regulation shown by signs or markings. Following the sign instead would be wrong.
