Correct answer
- AA la más restrictiva.The most restrictive one.
If signs of different types contradict each other, we apply the order of priority between them: 1. Signals and orders from traffic officers. 2. Temporary signs and fixed markers (beacons). 3. Traffic lights. 4. Road signs. 5. Road markings. When the signs are of the same type, the most restrictive one prevails. For example, if we find a Give way road sign and a STOP sign, we will obey the STOP sign because it is the more restrictive.
