Correct answer

  • BQue, al detenerse en cumplimiento de una señal de detención obligatoria, ningún vehículo o animal ni su carga deben franquearla.That, when stopping in compliance with a compulsory stop signal, no vehicle or animal, nor its load, may cross it.
Explanation

A continuous transverse line marks where to stop at a stop sign, a traffic light or a traffic officer: when stopping, neither the vehicle nor its load may go past it. On its own it does not require you to give way to everyone; it requires you not to cross it while the order to stop applies.
