Correct answer

  • AA la señal de prohibido parar y estacionar por ser la más restrictiva.The no stopping or parking sign, because it is the more restrictive.
Explanation

When two signs of the same type seem to contradict each other, the more restrictive one prevails (Article 133 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). Here you must obey the one that prohibits stopping and parking. Signs do not cancel each other out.
