Correct answer

  • ANo, porque se obstaculiza el paso a los peatones.No, because it blocks the way for pedestrians.
Explanation

When traffic is congested and you expect to end up stopped on a pedestrian crossing, you must not enter it, because you would block the way for pedestrians. Pedestrian crossings are designed so that people can cross the street safely; stopping on them prevents pedestrians from using them properly, which can put their safety at risk.
