Correct answer

  • CSí, con el dispositivo de preseñalización de peligro.Yes, with the hazard warning device.
Explanation

The correct answer is «Yes, with the hazard warning device» because, according to Article 130 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if the load falls onto the road, the obstacle must be properly signalled to prevent accidents. This means using a hazard warning device that warns other drivers of the obstruction on the road.
