Correct answer
- ADetenerme hasta que el semáforo se apague o se encienda otra luz.Stop until the traffic light goes out or another light comes on.
It is important to stop when a traffic light is showing a flashing red light, even if the barriers are raised. This indicates that a train may be approaching and it is dangerous to cross. We must wait for the traffic light to go out or change to another light showing that it is safe to cross. Safety always comes first.
