The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign an additional panel is installed which indicates the direction of the priority road.

The red car travels on the priority road, the bus comes from a road without priority while the blue car comes from the priority road, but by travelling straight ahead, leaves the priority road.

The bus must give priority of passing to the two cars because it encounters the “Give way” sign.

Between the red car and the blue one a situation of equality has been created, both encountering the “Priority road” sign, a situation in which the rule of priority from the right will apply, the blue car will give priority of passing to the red car because it comes from its right side.

The order of passing is the following: the red car, followed by the blue car and last through the intersection will pass the bus.

The correct answer is: A
