The intersection in the image is with uncontrolled traffic, a situation in which the right-hand priority rule will be applied. However, through this intersection a tram also circulates, which benefits from “special priority”, the drivers of vehicles being obliged to give priority to the tram because this one circulates on rails through an uncontrolled intersection. The tram will lose priority in intersections with uncontrolled traffic when it makes the left turn.
Given that the tram benefits from “special priority”, it has priority over the two motor vehicles and will pass first through this intersection.
After the tram passes, the other two motor vehicles will apply the right-hand priority rule to establish the passing order. Thus, the trolleybus will give priority to the car, because this one comes to it from the right side.
Therefore, the passing order is the following: the tram, followed by the car, and the last through the intersection will pass the trolleybus.
The correct answer is: B
