Correct answer

  • ALa necesidad de extremar la atención o la proximidad de un peligro.The need to take extra care or that there is a danger ahead.
Explanation

A yellow flag shows the need to take extra care or that there is a danger ahead. A green flag shows that, once the vehicle carrying it has passed, the carriageway is open to traffic again. A red flag shows that, once the vehicle carrying it has passed, the carriageway is temporarily closed to all vehicles and users, except those accompanied or escorted by officers.
