The intersection in the image is one where the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs.

The car and the truck come from roads without priority, encountering the sign “Give way” and the sign “Stop”, and are obliged to give priority to the vehicles coming from the priority road, more exactly to the motorcycle, which encounters the sign “Priority road”. Thus, the first through this intersection will pass the motorcycle.

After the motorcycle passes it remains that between the car and the truck the order of passing is established. These have equal rights to pass through this intersection because they encounter signs that have the same meaning of loss of priority, more exactly the sign “Give way” and the sign “Stop”, however because the car intends to turn left it will give priority to the truck because by turning to the left, the truck comes from its right side.

The order of passing is the following: first will pass the motorcycle, the second will pass the truck, and the last through this intersection will pass the car.

The correct answer is: A
