Correct answer

  • BLa de mayor prioridad.The one with higher priority.
Explanation

Under Article 133 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if two signs seem to contradict each other, the one with higher priority prevails, in this order: traffic officers, temporary signs, traffic lights, road signs and road markings. Only when both are of the same type do you obey the more restrictive one.
