Correct answer

  • CA los que se acerquen tanto por la derecha como por la izquierda.To those approaching both from the right and from the left.
Explanation

Whenever a driver comes out onto a public road from a purely private road, from a service area or from an adjoining property, they must make sure they can do so without danger and do it at a speed that allows them to stop at once, giving way to vehicles travelling on that road, whichever direction they are travelling in. So a vehicle joining the traffic from a garage must give way both to the right and to the left.
