For answer  A 

At the unsignalled intersection of two roads of different categories the rule of priority from the right is not applied, priority will be given to the vehicles circulating on "the superior road".

The rule of priority from the right will be applied in the unsignalled intersection if the roads that intersect are of the same category (for example two communal roads or two streets in a city). If the roads that intersect are of different categories priority will be given to the vehicles circulating on "the superior road".

The driver of the vehicle who enters on a communal road coming from a county road does not have the obligation to give priority to the vehicles on the communal road. The county roads are considered superior to the communal roads and the priority is given in the opposite way, the vehicle coming from the communal road must give priority to the one on the county road, at the unsignalled intersection. Thus, answer A cannot be correct.

For answer  B 

At the pedestrian crossings, the driver has the obligation to give priority to the pedestrian who crosses the public road through a specially designated place, marked and properly signalled or at the green colour of the traffic light intended for pedestrians, when he is on his driving direction.

For example:

• if the pedestrian is in the crossing of your driving direction, you have the obligation to give him priority;
• if the pedestrian has already crossed your driving direction and is in the crossing of the opposite driving direction, you do not have the obligation to give him priority, as long as he is not on your driving direction;
• if the pedestrian intends to cross starting with the opposite driving direction, you do not have the obligation to give him priority, as long as he is not on your driving direction.

However, we want to underline that in the case of the pedestrian who crosses starting with the opposite driving direction, if he would be so close that he could reach your driving direction before you pass the pedestrian marking, you have the obligation to give him priority.

More information about the obligations that the driver of the vehicle has at the pedestrian crossing, depending on its type and on the number of lanes per direction, you can find here ->> The pedestrian crossing and the obligations of pedestrians.

For answer  C 

When the driver of the vehicle performs a left or right turn and intersects with a bicycle rider or electric scooter rider who circulates on a bicycle lane, properly signalled, he has the obligation to give them priority. However, in answer C it is mentioned that the bicycle rider or electric scooter rider crosses on the marking of the pedestrian crossing driving these vehicles, in which case they do not have priority compared to the drivers of the other vehicles. Thus, answer C cannot be correct.

The correct answer is: B
