Show answer
Correct answer
- AAl semáforo.The traffic light.
Explanation
If different types of signs contradict each other, we follow this order of priority: signals and orders from traffic officers; temporary signs and fixed markers (beacons); traffic lights (round ones); road signs; road markings. Therefore we will obey the traffic light rather than the road sign.
