Correct answer
- AAl situado inmediatamente a su izquierda.The one immediately to their left.
Under Article 132 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if traffic lights on the right and on the left show different indications, drivers who intend to turn left or go straight on must obey the light on their left. This is because the rules set an order for obeying signals depending on where they are in relation to the vehicle. So they must obey the light on their left.
