Correct answer
- CDetenerme como si se tratase de la luz roja fija.Stop as if it were a steady red light.
A steady (non-flashing) amber light means that vehicles must stop in the same way as for a steady red light, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that it cannot stop before it safely enough. A flashing amber light, or two amber lights flashing alternately, require drivers to take extreme care and, where necessary, give way. They do not exempt drivers from obeying other signs that require them to stop.
