Correct answer

  • BRespetaremos la señal de STOP.We will obey the STOP sign.
Explanation

One flashing amber light, or two amber lights flashing alternately, require drivers to take extra care and, where appropriate, give way. In addition, they do not exempt you from obeying other signs that require you to stop. So in this situation we must obey the STOP sign.
