The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel that informs us about the direction of the priority road, the thickened line indicating the direction of the priority road.

The motorcycle comes from the road without priority, encountering the sign “Give way”, and must give priority to the truck and the car that come from the priority road.

The truck and the car encounter the sign “Priority road”. The truck wants to continue to drive on the direction of the priority road. The car wants to turn left, thus leaving the priority road. Considering that one of the two vehicles will leave the priority road, they will intersect their trajectories and will not be able to pass at the same time, thus creating a situation of equality. In this situation the rule of priority from the right will apply and the car will give priority to the truck, because it comes from the right side of the car.

Therefore, the order of passing through this intersection is the following: the first through the intersection will pass the truck, followed by the car, and the last through the intersection will pass the motorcycle.

The correct answer is: C

(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles that turn left are obliged to give priority to the vehicles with which they intersect and which drive from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic controlled by priority signs, the rule of priority from the right 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 loss of priority.
