The intersection in the image is one in which the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs.
The car and the truck come from roads without priority, encountering the sign “Give way” and the sign “Stop”, and they have the obligation to give priority to vehicles that come from the priority road, more exactly to the motorcycle, which encounters the sign “Priority road”. Thus, the first through this intersection will pass the motorcycle.
After the motorcycle passes, it remains for the car and the truck to establish the passing order. These have equal rights to pass through this intersection because they encounter signs that have the same meaning of loss of priority, more exactly the sign “Give way” and the sign “Stop”, however because the car intends to turn left it will give priority to the truck because when turning left, the truck comes from its right side.
The passing order is the following: first will pass the motorcycle, second will pass the truck, and the last through this intersection will pass the car.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn 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-hand priority rule is respected only when two vehicles are going 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 going 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.
