Correct answer

  • AAntes de la línea de detención.Before the stop line.
Explanation

The continuous transverse line (M-4.1) is a stop line: when you have to stop because of a stop sign, a traffic light, a traffic officer or a pedestrian crossing, no vehicle or its load may go past it. You must stop before it, not on the crossing or inside the junction.
