Correct answer

  • ANo, porque el STOP pintado solo obliga a los vehículos que circulan por el carril en el que está situado.No, because a painted STOP only applies to vehicles travelling in the lane where it is painted.
Explanation

The STOP is painted in the left-hand lane, which is for turning left. According to the road marking catalogue in Annex I of the RGC, if the marking is in a lane marked out by longitudinal lines, it only applies to those driving in that lane. The white car is in the other lane.
