The intersection in the image is an intersection controlled by regulatory priority signs. Under each sign there is an additional panel indicating the direction of the priority road, the thickened line showing the configuration of the priority road.
The green car and the truck come from roads without priority, encountering the sign “Give way”, and must give way to the red car, because it is travelling on the priority road and encounters the sign “Priority road”.
Between the green car and the truck a situation of equality has occurred, both encountering the “Give way” sign, a situation in which priority to the right will be applied. The truck will give way to the green car, because the green car comes from the right side of the truck.
Therefore, the order of passing through this intersection is the following: the first to pass will be the red car, followed by the green car, and the last to pass will be the truck.
The correct answer is: B
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 travel from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic controlled by priority signs, the rule of priority to the right 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 travelling on a public road on which one of the signs having the meaning: "Priority road", "Intersection with a non-priority road" or "Priority over oncoming traffic" is installed has priority of passage.
(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection controlled by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.
