Correct answer
- BSeguir circulando por la intersección sin detenerse.Carry on through the junction without stopping.
Under section 1.1 of Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations, an arm raised vertically requires those approaching the officer to stop, but if the signal is given at a junction, it does not require drivers who have already entered the junction to stop. They must finish crossing.
