Correct answer

  • BA la señal prioritaria según el orden entre señales.The sign with priority according to the order between signs.

Signals and orders from traffic officers. 2. Temporary signs that change the normal use of the road, and fixed markers (beacons). 3. Traffic lights. 4. Road signs. 5. Road markings.
