The intersection in the image is one in which the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs. Even if only on the non‑priority road regulatory priority signs are installed, namely the “Stop” sign, this intersection is one with directed traffic.

We draw attention that such intersections in which the regulatory priority signs are found installed only on the road or, as the case may be, on the non‑priority roads are also encountered in reality, these being intersections with directed traffic.

The car and the bus come from non‑priority roads, encountering the “Stop” sign, and have the obligation to give priority to vehicles that come from the priority road, namely the truck, which will pass first through this intersection.

The car and the bus have equal rights to pass through this intersection because both encounter the “Stop” sign, but because the bus intends to turn left it will give priority to the car, because during the left turn the car comes from its right side.

The order of passing is the following: the truck, followed by the car, and the last to enter the intersection will be the bus.

The correct answer is: B
