- BComo el semáforo prevalece sobre las marcas viales, no debe respetar el ceda el paso.As traffic lights take priority over road markings, they need not obey the give-way marking.

Correct answer
- CDeberá ceder el paso a los vehículos que circulen por la vía transversal.They must give way to vehicles on the crossing road.
Square traffic lights with a green arrow are lane-control signals: they only show that you may drive in that lane, but they do not control the junction. So the give-way marking still applies and you must let vehicles on the crossing road pass.
