Correct answer
- BCeder el paso a los vehículos que vienen por la derecha y extremar la precaución.Give way to vehicles coming from the right and take extra care.
At a junction where the traffic light is not working, the light is considered to be out of order, which means the right-of-way rules must be applied. Under the General Traffic Regulations, in the rule on giving way to vehicles coming from the right, the correct option is to give way and take extra care. So you must give priority to vehicles approaching from the right, which makes traffic safer and more orderly.
