Correct answer
- ANo entrar en la intersección a pesar de que tiene prioridad de paso.Do not enter the junction, even though you have right of way.
Even if they have right of way, no driver may enter a junction, or a pedestrian or cycle crossing, if the traffic situation is such that they are likely to be left stopped in a way that blocks or obstructs crossing traffic. Any driver whose vehicle is stopped at a junction controlled by traffic lights, and is blocking traffic, must leave it without waiting for traffic to be allowed in the direction they intend to take, as long as doing so does not get in the way of other road users moving in the permitted direction.
