Correct answer

  • APor el lado derecho del refugio.To the right of the island.
Explanation

When there are refuges, traffic islands or guidance devices on the road, you must drive on the part of the carriageway to their right, in your direction of travel, except when they are on a one-way road or within the part of the road for a single direction. In that case you may pass on either side.
