At the uncontrolled intersection of two roads of the same category, such as an intersection of two communal roads or two streets in a city, the rule of right-hand priority will be applied, thus the vehicle coming from the right has priority.

We must remember that the rule of right-hand priority applies only in uncontrolled intersections of roads of the same category. If the uncontrolled intersection is of roads of different categories, such as a county road and a communal road, the priority of passage will be given as follows:

• the driver of the vehicle will give priority at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a national road coming from a county, communal or local road;
• the driver of the vehicle will give priority at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a county road coming from a communal or local road;
• the driver of the vehicle will give priority at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a communal road coming from a local road.

The correct answer is: A
