Correct answer

  • CDetenerme como si se tratara de una luz roja, si es posible hacerlo con seguridad.Stop as if it were a red light, if it is possible to do so safely.
Explanation

Under Annex I of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a non-flashing amber light requires you to stop under the same conditions as a steady red light, unless, when it comes on, the vehicle is so close to the stopping point that it cannot stop before it with sufficient safety.
