Correct answer

  • ANo. La flecha verde me permite pasar, pero debo ceder el paso al vehículo que viene.No. The green arrow lets me go, but I must give way to the vehicle that is coming.
Explanation

The green arrow means you may move forward or turn in the direction it points, but this does not exempt the driver from giving way to other vehicles already in the lane they are joining. Under the General Traffic Regulations, vehicles must do this carefully and let those in the lane go first, to keep the road safe. So when turning right, the driver must give way to any vehicle approaching from that direction.
