The intersection in the image is one in which the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs. Even if only on the road without priority regulatory priority signs are installed, more precisely the “Give way” sign and the “Stop” sign, this intersection is one with directed traffic.
We draw attention that such intersections in which the regulatory priority signs are installed only on the road or, as the case may be, on the roads without priority are also encountered in reality, these being intersections with directed traffic.
The car and the motorcycle come from roads without priority, both encountering the “Give way” sign, and are obliged to give priority to vehicles coming from the priority road, more precisely to the tram, which will pass first through this intersection.
The car and the motorcycle have equal rights to pass through this intersection because both encounter the “Give way” sign. However, because the car intends to turn left, it will give priority to the motorcycle because by turning to the left, the motorcycle comes to it from the right side.
Therefore, the last to pass through this intersection will be the car, and the passing order is the following: the tram, followed by the motorcycle, and the last will be the car.
The correct answer is: B
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn to the left are obliged to give priority 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‑of‑way 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 that moves on a public road on which one of the signs having the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a road without priority” 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 that comes from the right has priority.
