The intersection in the image is directed with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel which indicates the direction of the priority road. The trams come from roads without priority, both encountering the sign “Give way”, and must give priority to the motorcycle and the truck which come from the priority road.

Between the motorcycle and the truck a situation of equality has been created, both encountering the sign “Priority road”, a situation in which the rule of the right-hand priority will be applied. The truck will give priority to the motorcycle because it comes from the right side of the truck. Thus, the first through the intersection will pass the motorcycle and the second will pass the truck.

Between the trams a situation of equality has been created, both encountering the sign “Give way”, a situation in which tram 1 will give right-hand priority to tram 2, because it comes from the right side of tram 1. Thus, the third through the intersection will pass tram 2, and the last will pass tram 1.

The correct answer is: B
