Correct answer
- CPermite el paso con prioridad salvo excepcionesIt allows you to go with priority, with some exceptions
A non-flashing circular green light means that you may go. As a general rule, you have priority over vehicles on the crossing road. However, the correct answer says “with some exceptions” because the General Traffic Regulations (Art. 59) prohibit entering a junction, even if the light is green, if traffic is so heavy that you are likely to end up stopped in the middle of the junction, obstructing other road users. So it allows you to go, but with that vital precaution.
