Correct answer

  • AQue circula en servicio urgenteThat the vehicle is on an emergency call.
Explanation

The V-1 sign on priority vehicles indicates that they are on an emergency call. These vehicles, such as ambulances, fire engines or police patrol cars, use this signal to tell other drivers that they are responding to an emergency and need a clear path and priority on the road. Drivers must recognise this signal and give way safely and quickly so that priority vehicles can reach their destination as fast as possible and help in emergencies.
