The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel indicating the direction of the priority road. The truck comes from a road without priority, encountering the sign “Give way”, and must give priority to the car and the motorcycle coming from the priority road.

The car and the motorcycle come from the priority road, both encountering the sign “Priority road”. The car wants to continue to drive on the direction of the priority road. The motorcycle wants to drive straight ahead, thus leaving the priority road. Considering that one of the two vehicles will leave the priority road, they will intersect their trajectories and cannot pass at the same time, thus creating an equality situation. In this situation the right‑hand priority rule will apply and the motorcycle will give priority to the car, because it comes from the right side of the motorcycle.

Therefore, the order of passing through this intersection is the following: the car, followed by the motorcycle, and the last to pass through this intersection will be the truck.

The correct answer is: C
