Correct answer

  • BSí, a no ser que no pueda hacerse en condiciones de seguridad.Yes, unless you cannot do so safely.
Explanation

A non-flashing amber light means vehicles must stop in the same way as for a steady red light, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that it cannot stop before it with sufficient safety.
