Correct answer
- ADetenerse si la luz va dirigida hacia ustedStop if the light is directed at you
An officer swinging a red or yellow light is a direct order to stop. This signal requires the road users at whom the officer directs the light to stop. Remember that officers' signals take precedence over all other signs (traffic lights, road signs, etc.). It is not a danger warning or a lane indication, but an immediate compulsory stop.
