Correct answer

  • AAl semáforo de la izquierda.The traffic light on the left.
Explanation

When there is a traffic light on each side showing different signals, the one on the right controls turning right and the one on the left controls going straight on or turning left. The blue vehicle wants to go straight on, so it obeys the one on the left, which is red, and must stop. This is not a contradiction between signs.
