We draw attention that, although this circular‑shaped intersection looks very similar to an intersection in which the traffic takes place in a roundabout, in this one the traffic is controlled by regulatory priority signs, not being an intersection with traffic in a roundabout.
Under each sign there is an additional panel installed indicating the direction of the priority road. The red car and the blue one come from non‑priority roads, encountering the sign “Give way”, and are obliged to give priority to the green car.
The green car comes from the priority road, encountering the sign “Priority road”, and has priority over the red car and the blue one.
Between the red car and the blue one a situation of equality has been created, both encountering the sign “Give way”, a situation in which the rule of priority from the right will apply. The blue car will give priority to the red car because it comes from its right side.
Therefore, the passing order through this intersection is the following: the green car, followed by the red car, and the last to pass through this intersection will be the blue car.
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 to the vehicles with which they intersect and which move from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic controlled by priority signs, the rule of priority from the right applies only when two vehicles are about to meet, each entering the intersection from a road signalled with a sign having the same meaning of priority or loss of priority.

(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection controlled by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle that comes from the right has priority.
