The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel which indicates the direction of the priority road.

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

The car and the motorcycle encounter the “Priority road” sign. The car wants to continue to drive on the direction of the priority road. The motorcycle wants to drive straight ahead, 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 motorcycle will give priority to the car, because this comes from the right side of the motorcycle.

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

The correct answer is: B
