Correct answer

  • AEsperar a que se ponga verde el de la izquierda.Wait for the one on the left to turn green.
Explanation

According to Article 132.3 of the RGC, if there are traffic lights showing different signals on the right and on the left, anyone who intends to go straight on or turn left must only obey the one immediately to their left. That is why you must wait for the one on the left to turn green.
