In this situation you intend to enter an intersection with traffic directed with regulatory priority signs and you encounter the “Stop” sign accompanied by the additional panel which indicates, through the thickened line, that the priority roads are the one to the left and the one in front.
The “Stop” sign obliges you to stop before the transversal stop marking applied on the carriageway and, while standing still, to give priority to vehicles coming from the priority roads, more exactly to the vehicles coming from the road on the left and the vehicles coming from the road in front.
The vehicles coming from the road on the right come from a non‑priority road, just like you, and you must also give way to them because between the vehicle you are driving and the vehicles coming from the right a situation of equality is created, in which the right‑hand priority rule will apply.
Therefore, when encountering the sign and the additional panel in the image, you will give priority to all vehicles circulating through the intersection.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of vehicles who turn left are obliged to give priority to the vehicles with which they intersect and which circulate 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 129
(1) The vehicle circulating 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.
Regulation** - Article 81
(1) The transversal marking consisting of a continuous line, applied across the width of one or more lanes, indicates the line before which the vehicle must be stopped when encountering the "Stop" sign. Such a marking may be used to indicate the stop line imposed by a light signal, by a command of the officer directing the traffic, by the presence of a level crossing with a railway, with a tram line or a pedestrian crossing. Before the marking accompanying the "Stop" sign the inscription "Stop" may be applied on the carriageway.
