Correct answer
A forced or traffic-required halt (detención).
Detención, a forced or traffic-required halt under Spanish traffic-law definitions. Parada is a voluntary stop of less than two minutes without leaving the driving position; estacionamiento is immobilisation that is neither detención nor parada. Queues and traffic lights can cause detención, not only crashes.
