Correct answer

  • BAtendiendo a la señalización, el que entre primero, mayor dificultad de maniobra y mayor distancia a recorrer marcha atrás.The signs, then the one that enters first, then greater difficulty in manoeuvring, then greater distance to reverse.
Explanation

At narrowings, the order of priority is decided by these criteria: first, the signs, if there are any, which take precedence over any other rule; second, when there are no specific signs, the vehicle that entered the narrowing first has priority; third, greater difficulty in manoeuvring, which favours the vehicle that finds it harder to reverse or manoeuvre (there is a list of vehicles); fourth, greater distance to reverse, so that if one vehicle has to reverse, it will be the one with the shorter distance to cover. If the reversing distances are equal, priority goes to the vehicle with the greater width, length or maximum authorised mass.
