Who has priority here?

In this scenario, the traffic officer is directing traffic, which takes precedence over standard traffic signals and right-of-way rules. The red car must yield to the officer's instructions, giving priority to any vehicles or pedestrians that the officer indicates should go first.

In German traffic law, a police officer or traffic controller has authority that overrides typical road rules. Therefore, understanding their signals is crucial for safety and compliance. Always follow their directions even if other traffic signs suggest different actions.
