Is it legal to leave the roadway and travel across private property to avoid an official traffic control device?

1. No

2. Yes

3. Sometimes, if necessary

4. Only during emergencies

The correct answer is: No

Leaving the roadway and traveling across private property to avoid an official traffic control device is not permitted. Traffic control devices are put in place for safety and to manage the flow of traffic effectively. Ignoring these devices can lead to a dangerous situation for yourself and other road users. Therefore, adhering to all traffic control devices is crucial for maintaining order and safety on the roads. Engaging in actions to circumvent these controls by using private property could result in legal consequences and is not justified, even in situations that may seem inconvenient or problematic.
