The traffic lights are not working and we must respect the meaning of the regulatory priority signs. Attention! The intersection is still a directed intersection, because when the traffic lights are not working the meaning of the regulatory priority signs will be respected, thus becoming an intersection with traffic directed by signs.
Considering that the intersection is with directed traffic, and the trams benefit from “special priority” for the vehicles that move on rails only in intersections with undirected traffic, the trams do not benefit from “special priority” in this situation.
Tram 2 encounters the sign “Give way” and must give priority to tram 1 and the car. Tram 1 and the car have priority because they encounter the sign “Priority road”, but tram 1, changing the direction of travel to the right, must give priority to the car, which continues to move straight ahead. Therefore, the order of passing is the following: the car, followed by tram 1, and the last to pass through this intersection will be tram 2.
The correct answer is: B
§ 7. Intersections and the obligation to give way
Article 166 (article REPEALED once the whole act was repealed by HG 1391 04/10/2006)
(1) When two vehicles approach an intersection simultaneously, coming from public roads on which no priority signs are installed, the vehicles coming from the right have priority of passage.(2) The vehicle that travels on a public road on which the sign with the meaning “Priority road” or “Priority over oncoming traffic” is installed or which approaches an intersection where the sign with the meaning “Intersection with a non-priority road” is installed also has priority.(3) Have priority of passage the motor vehicles provided in art. 32 paragraph (1) letters a) and b) of the emergency ordinance, as well as the trams in motion, respecting the other provisions of this regulation.(4) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection directed by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.
OUG* - Article 59
(1) In intersections with undirected traffic, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority to the vehicles that move on rails. They lose the priority of passage when making the left turn or when the road signalling in that area establishes another traffic rule.(2) In intersections, the drivers of the vehicles that turn left are obliged to give priority to the vehicles with which they intersect and which move from the right side.(3) In intersections with traffic directed by priority signs, the rule of priority from the right is respected only when two vehicles are about to meet, each entering the intersection from a road signalled with a sign having the same meaning of priority or loss of priority.
[...]
Regulation** - Article 129
(1) The vehicle that moves on a public road on which one of the signs with the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a non-priority road” or “Priority over oncoming traffic” is installed has priority of passage.(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection directed by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.
