Correct answer
- ADetenerse, porque la señal del agente tiene prioridad.Stop, because the officer's signal has priority.
Signals and orders from traffic officers are always immediately binding and must therefore be obeyed at once by drivers and other road users. They prevail over any other sign and over the traffic rules, even if they contradict those rules and signs. So, even though the traffic light is green, we must stop.
