Correct answer

  • CAl situado inmediatamente a su izquierda.The one immediately to their left.
Explanation

When there are traffic lights showing different signals on each side, those who want to turn left or go straight on must only obey the one immediately to their left (Article 132.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). The one on the right applies to those turning to that side.
