GENERAL Learning Environment Category B (B, B1)
Question 881 of 1208

What priority rule applies in an uncontrolled intersection outside the urban area?

A the priority of the vehicle with a higher speed regime;
B the priority of the main road;
C the priority to the right.

Explanation

At the uncontrolled intersection of two roads of the same category, such as an intersection of two communal roads or two streets in a city, the rule of priority to the right will apply, thus the vehicle coming from the right has priority.

We must remember that the rule of priority to the right applies only in the uncontrolled intersections of roads of the same category. If the uncontrolled intersection is of roads of different categories, such as a county road and a communal road, the priority to pass will be given as follows:

  • the driver of the vehicle will give priority to pass at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a national road coming from a county, communal or local road;
  • the driver of the vehicle will give priority to pass at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a county road coming from a communal or local road;
  • the driver of the vehicle will give priority to pass at the uncontrolled intersection when entering a communal road coming from a local road.

The correct answer is: C
