Correct answer

  • CEl semáforo rojo, porque está a la izquierda y quieres seguir recto.The red light, because it is on the left and you want to go straight on.
Explanation

Under Article 132.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, if the traffic lights on the right and on the left show different signals, anyone who is going straight on or turning left must only obey the one on their left. Here it is red, so you may not move forward.
