Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The position lights.

As a general rule, if your vehicle is stopped at night on the shoulder of a poorly lit road section through a built-up area (travesía), you must leave its position lights on. Hazard lights are added in specific cases, such as a breakdown. In the image, the passenger car stopped next to the bus stop has its position lights on.
