In an intersection regulated by regulatory priority signs two drivers of vehicles want to enter simultaneously, one encountering the sign “Stop” and the other the sign “Give way”, and their trajectories through the intersection will intersect. Both signs, both “Stop” and “Give way”, have the same meaning, more precisely of loss of priority.

Between the two drivers of vehicles a situation of equality was created, both drivers coming from roads on which signs of loss of priority are installed, and their trajectories through the intersection will intersect. In this situation the rule of right-hand priority will apply, in which the vehicle that comes from the right has priority.

The correct answer is: B

OUG* - Article 59

[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn to the left are obliged to give priority of passage to the vehicles with which they intersect and which travel from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic regulated by priority signs, the rule of right-hand priority is respected only in the case in which two vehicles are about to meet, each entering the intersection from a road signalled with a sign having the same meaning of priority or of loss of priority.

Regulation** - Article 129

(1) The vehicle that travels on a public road on which one of the signs having the meaning: "Priority road", "Intersection with a road without priority" or "Priority over the traffic from the opposite direction" is installed has priority of passage.
(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection regulated by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle that comes from the right has priority.
