The intersection in the image is one in which the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs. Even if only on the road without priority regulatory priority signs are installed, namely the sign “Give way” and the sign “Stop”, this intersection is one with directed traffic.

We draw attention that such intersections in which the regulatory priority signs are installed only on the road or, as the case may be, on the roads without priority are also encountered in reality, these being intersections with directed traffic.

The car and the motorcycle come from roads without priority, both encountering the sign “Give way”, and are obliged to give priority to the vehicles coming from the priority road, namely the tram, which will pass first through this intersection.

The car and the motorcycle have equal rights to pass through this intersection because both encounter the sign “Give way”. However, because the car intends to turn left, it will give priority to the motorcycle because when turning left, the motorcycle comes to it from the right side.

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

The correct answer is: B
