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 blue car and the motorcycle come from non‑priority roads, both encountering the “Give way” sign, and must give priority to the red car which comes from the priority road and which encounters the “Priority road” sign. Thus, the first to pass through the intersection will be the red car.

Between the blue car and the motorcycle a situation of equality was created, both encountering the “Give way” sign, a situation in which the blue car will give right‑hand priority to the motorcycle, because it comes from the right side of the blue car. Thus, the second to pass through the intersection will be the motorcycle, and the last will pass the blue car.

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

The correct answer is: A
