Correct answer

  • BDetenerse obligatoriamente y ceder el paso a los vehículos que circulen por la vía transversal.Stop, as it is compulsory, and give way to vehicles on the crossing road.
Explanation

The STOP sign requires every driver to stop the vehicle at the next stop line or, if there is none, immediately before the junction, and to give way there to vehicles on the road being approached. If, due to exceptional circumstances, there is not enough visibility from the place where you stopped, the driver must stop again at a place with visibility, without endangering any road user.
