When you want to cross an intersection and you encounter the sign “Give way”, you have the obligation to reduce the speed and to make sure that on the priority road no other vehicles are moving at that moment.
If other vehicles come from the priority road, you must stop and give them priority. Priority is given regardless of whether they are motor vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) or simple vehicles (bicycles, scooters, etc.). Only after you have made sure that on the priority road no other vehicles are coming, you can enter the intersection and continue your movement safely.
If in the intersection no additional panels are installed indicating the direction of the priority road, the transversal road is the priority road and you must give priority both to the vehicles coming from the left side and to those coming from the right side.
It must be known that there are situations in which, depending on the direction in which you want to move, you have or do not have the obligation to give priority also to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction. For example, if in such an intersection, encountering the sign “Give way”, you want to move straight ahead or to make a right turn, you will give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road. But if you want to make a left turn, besides the obligation to give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road, you must also give priority to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction and moving straight ahead or to the right (their right), because during the left turn they come from your right side.
The correct answer is: B
OUG* - Article 56
When approaching an intersection the driver of the vehicle must move with a speed that allows stopping, in order to give priority to the traffic participants who have this right.
* OUG = EMERGENCY ORDINANCE no. 195 of December 12, 2002 updated (Road Code)
