Correct answer

  • BEsperar a que el semáforo cambie a verde.Wait for the traffic light to turn green.
Explanation

A steady (non-flashing) red light prohibits passing. If the traffic light is inside the junction or on the opposite side of it, vehicles must not enter the junction or go past the stop line before it. That is why the blue vehicle must wait for the light to turn green, also in order to turn right.
