Correct answer
- APrevalecerá la prioritaria.The one with priority will prevail.
According to Article 133 of the General Traffic Regulations, if several signs appear to contradict each other, the one with priority prevails, in this order: traffic officers, temporary signs, traffic lights, road signs and road markings. Only between signs of the same type does the most restrictive one prevail. That is why a traffic light prevails over a STOP sign.
