Correct answer
- BDetener el vehículo antes del semáforo circular en rojo.Stop before the red round traffic light.
In this case, you must stop at the red round traffic light, because under the General Traffic Regulations a steady red light prohibits vehicles from passing. Although the green arrow on the square signal shows that you may use that lane, it does not exempt drivers from stopping at a red traffic light, which takes priority. So the correct option is to stop before the red round traffic light.
