Correct answer

  • Ba la señal más restrictiva.the more restrictive sign.
Explanation

Under Article 133 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if two signs of the same type seem to contradict each other, the more restrictive one prevails. So if a give way sign and a STOP sign appear together, you must stop. Between signs of different types, the order of priority applies: traffic officers, temporary signs and markers, traffic lights, road signs and road markings.
