Correct answer

  • ADetenernos siempre para ceder el paso.Always stop to give way.
Explanation

The STOP sign requires every driver to stop their vehicle at the next stop line or, if there is none, immediately before the junction, and to give way to vehicles on the road they are approaching. If there is not enough visibility from where they stopped, they must stop again where they can see, without endangering any road user.
