Correct answer

  • BQue la calzada queda temporalmente cerrada al tráfico.That the carriageway is temporarily closed to traffic.
Explanation

A traffic officer with a red flag on their vehicle shows that once they have passed, the carriageway is temporarily closed to all vehicles and road users, except those escorted by officers. You must wait for another officer with a green flag on their vehicle to pass, after which the carriageway will be open to traffic again.
