Correct answer

  • AIncorporarme al carril hacia el que apunta la flecha, porque el carril por el que circulo va a quedar cerrado.Move into the lane the arrow points to, because the lane I am in is going to be closed.
Explanation

This is correct because a steady amber arrow pointing downwards means that the lane you are in is going to be closed. So you must move into the lane the arrow points to, in order to continue your journey safely and avoid a possible accident.
