Order of Passage
The essentials
The goal of this topic is to determine the order of passage step by step in a situation involving several vehicles. First assess the traffic control, then road priority, the directions of the participants, and only then who must give way to whom.
What to remember
When solving an order-of-passage problem, do not number the vehicles immediately. First remove the participants whose movement is prohibited, then determine main/secondary roads, and then apply turning, tram, right-hand and pedestrian rules. This step-by-step method reduces errors in complex diagrams.

The driver of which vehicle violates the rules for turning from a road that has a braking lane?
- Both drivers
- The driver of the yellow car
- Both drivers are turning correctly
The correct answer: The driver of the yellow car
The driver of the yellow car violates the rules. When leaving a road with a deceleration lane, the driver must enter that lane in advance and slow down there before turning. The yellow car turns from the main lane and crosses the special lane, while the blue truck follows the correct sequence.
Specify the order of passing the intersection
- Bus, truck, horse-drawn carriage
- Bus and horse-drawn carriage, truck
The correct answer: Bus and horse-drawn carriage, truck
The correct order is the bus and horse-drawn carriage first, then the truck. At an uncontrolled intersection of equal roads, drivers yield to traffic approaching from the right. The bus and carriage can pass simultaneously without conflicting, while the truck must wait and proceed only after the intersection becomes clear.
Is a bus driver obliged to give way to a truck at an intersection with roundabout traffic?
- Obliged
- Not obliged
The correct answer: Not obliged
The correct answer is the bus driver is not required to yield. No sign gives the truck priority at this roundabout, and it approaches the bus from the left. With equal-priority approaches, the right-side rule applies, so the truck waits and allows the bus on its right to proceed first.
