We draw attention that although this circular‑shaped intersection looks very much like an intersection in which the traffic takes place in a roundabout, in this one the traffic is directed by regulatory priority signs, it not being an intersection with traffic in a roundabout.
Under each sign there is installed an additional panel indicating the direction of the priority road. The motorcycle and the truck come from roads without priority, encountering the sign “Give way”, and are obliged to give priority of passage to the bus and the green car.
The bus and the green car come from the priority road, both encountering the sign “Priority road”, and have priority of passage over the motorcycle and the truck.
Therefore, considering that in the wording of this question it is NOT asked the order of passage through the intersection, but it is asked to state which of the vehicles have priority of passage, in this intersection the bus and the green car have priority of passage. Nevertheless, the truck acted wrongly by entering the intersection, possibly blocking the traffic in it.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn to the left are obliged to give priority of passage to the vehicles with which they intersect and which move from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic directed by priority signs, the right‑hand priority rule 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 2
[...]
4^1. roundabout intersection - directed intersection, signalled as such, fitted with one or more traffic lanes, in which the traffic takes place in a single direction around a central area;
[...]
Regulation** - Article 129
(1) The vehicle which moves on a public road on which is installed one of the signs having the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a road without priority” or “Priority over oncoming traffic” 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.
Regulation** - Article 105
Is prohibited the entry into an intersection even if the light signal or a priority sign allows it, if due to traffic congestion the driver of the vehicle risks remaining immobilized, hindering or preventing the flow of traffic.
