Correct answer
- BNos detendremos como si de rojo fijo se tratase.Stop as if it were a steady red light.
A steady amber light requires you to stop as if it were a steady red light, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that it cannot stop safely. A flashing amber light, or two alternately flashing amber lights, would require drivers to take extra care and, where appropriate, give way. These also do not exempt drivers from obeying other signs that require them to stop.
