Correct answer

  • BDetenerse si la luz se dirige hacia su vehículo.Stop if the light is pointed towards their vehicle.
Explanation

Under section 1.1 of Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations, when a traffic officer swings a red or yellow light, the road users towards whom the officer points the light must stop. Slowing down is not enough, and the signal does not show which side to pass on.
