Correct answer

  • CEsperar hasta que se apague la luz roja.Wait until the red light goes out.
Explanation

A steady (non-flashing) red light prohibits passing while it is on, including at the entrance to a tunnel. You must wait for it to go out: afterwards the green light may come on, or a flashing amber light, which allows you to pass taking extreme care.
