When may you go against a traffic signal or sign?

The rule

Obey traffic signs, signals and markings unless a police officer or other emergency worker, or a uniformed school crossing guard near a school, directs you otherwise.

Obey signs, signals and markings unless a police officer or emergency worker, or a school crossing guard near a school, tells you otherwise.

From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 4, page 17. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
