Correct answer

  • ACuando entra por mi derecha.When it comes from my right.
Explanation

At junctions with no sign regulating priority, we must give way to vehicles approaching from the right. We apply this rule always, except in the following cases: - Vehicles on a paved road have right of way over those coming from an unpaved road. - Vehicles running on rails, such as trams, have priority over other road users. - Vehicles already on a roundabout have priority over those wanting to enter it. - Vehicles on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía) have right of way over those wanting to join it. Therefore, with an animal-drawn vehicle we apply the general rule of priority to the right.
