The sign in the image is called “Give way”, it is installed before entering the intersection and obliges you to reduce the speed and to make sure that on the priority road no other vehicles are travelling at that moment.

If other vehicles come from the priority road, you must stop and give them priority. Priority is given regardless of whether they are motor vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) or simple vehicles (bicycles, scooters, etc.). Only after you have made sure that from the priority road no other vehicles are coming, you may enter the intersection and continue your movement safely.

If in the intersection no additional panels are installed indicating the direction of the priority road, the transversal road is the priority road and you must give priority both to the vehicles coming from the left side and to those coming from the right side.

It must be known that there are situations in which, depending on the direction you want to travel, you have or do not have the obligation to give priority also to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction. For example, if in such an intersection, encountering the “Give way” sign you want to travel straight ahead or to turn right, you will give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road. However, if you want to make a left turn, besides the obligation to give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road, you must also give priority to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction and travelling straight ahead or to the right (their right), because during the left turn they come to you from the right side.

The correct answer is: B
