Correct answer

  • BIgual que una luz roja, detenerse en condiciones de seguridad.The same as a red light: stop if it is safe to do so.
Explanation

A steady amber light requires you to stop just as if it were red, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close that it cannot stop before the traffic light safely (annex I of the General Traffic Regulations). Taking extreme care and giving way is what a flashing amber light means.
