A road rules quiz has left drivers stumped as to who has the right of way at an intersection featuring two cars, a cyclist and a pedestrian.

'In the intersection below, in what order from A to D is each person permitted to go?' the post posed.
A road rules quiz posted to Facebook left a number of drivers stumped as to who has the right of way at an intersection featuring two cars, a cyclist and a pedestrian.
New South Wales Road Safety posted the quiz to its Facebook page on Monday asking motorists if they knew the answer, leaving many stumped about right of way rules
The intersection has two cars on opposite sides indicating to the same lane and direction where a cyclist is heading, all while a pedestrian is waiting to cross at the same corner.
Each of them are labelled A, B, C and D.
'D B A And Finally C has to go Is that correct please Can someone please confirm to me Best of luck,' one Facebook incorrectly guessed.
'BCAD there are no traffic lights person must wait,' another user incorrectly guessed.

Meanwhile some didn't even bother to make a guess.
'So what’s the right answer?' the user asked.
After the post was live for a day NSW Road Safety posted the answer.
They informed motorists the correct answer in sequence is B, D, C and A.
'Bicycle B is going straight through the intersection (without a stop sign or give way sign applying to them) so isn’t required to give way to any vehicle or pedestrian,' the post read.
A number of social media users were left stumped while others didn't even bother to take a guess at the right answer
'When crossing at an intersection, Pedestrian D must give way to oncoming vehicles going straight ahead. Car C is turning after stopping at a stop sign so must give way to any pedestrian crossing the road it's turning into (Pedestrian D) and all vehicles in, entering or approaching the intersection (Bicycle B), except drivers turning right (Car A).
'Car A is turning after stopping at a stop sign so must give way to vehicles in, entering or approaching the intersection.'
One user joked that despite the rules being written out in black and white most of the time the real world application was different.
'D steps out without even looking because they are watching a cat video on their phone, C runs over D because they didn't look left; B collides with C and ends up going to hospital with a broken clavicle,' they wrote.
'A crosses into oncoming lanes, drives around the lot and continues on their way; B somehow gets blamed for the whole thing because they're on a bicycle.'
One user joked that despite the rules being written out in black and white most of the time the real world application was different because most drivers are distracted now
