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.
