The basic rule:
who decides?

Before you think about right-before-left, you need to know: traffic follows a clear hierarchy. Whoever is higher up has priority.

Priority hierarchy – Swiss moped theory test

The hierarchy

1

Police officer – always has the final say, even over a green light.

2

Traffic lights – lights override signs.

3

Sign – signs override the basic rule.

4

Basic rule – applies only if there is no officer, no lights and no sign.

Memory aid: The officer beats the lights – the lights beat the sign – the sign beats the basic rule.
Example: there is a “Stop” sign but the light is green? The light wins – you may go.
