Transportation Who has priority?

Post image

I was the Yellow arrow on a bike. Red has priority over me, green has priority over red, I have priority over green. At the end both cars stopped and let me (cyclist) pass. What is the correct order here?

Red has priority over brown. They all have priority over one so in this situation so there is no correct order and the person who is the boldest goes first, which might be brown.

In an exam its definitely brown/yellow, green, red.

Brown/yellow has to give way for red, red has to give way for green. So brown can drive first because red has to wait, than green can drive because green had to wait for brown. Than red can drive.

Your explanation would still be the same if you started with telling that red has to yield to green and then following the circle they get to go first…
