This is a classic traffic riddle that usually catches people off guard because they get tangled up in “Right of Way” laws.

The “surprising” answer is actually a lesson in logic rather than just driving rules: None of them pass.

The “Surprise” Answer:

If the picture shows all three cars (Blue 🚙, Yellow 🚕, and Red 🚗) at a four-way stop or an uncontrolled intersection at the exact same time, they are in a deadlock.

• The Rule: You must yield to the car on your right.
• The Conflict: * The Blue car 🚙 must yield to the Yellow taxi 🚕 (on its right).
  • The Yellow taxi 🚕 must yield to the Red car 🚗 (on its right).
  • The Red car 🚗 must yield to the Blue car 🚙 (on its right).

How it’s actually solved:

In the real world, this is solved by communication, not just rules. One driver has to wave the other through, “forfeiting” their right of way to break the cycle.

However, if this is the viral “Reverse” version of the puzzle:

The answer is often Car #2 (if the cars are numbered). By one car simply backing up, it creates the space needed for the others to move in a “domino effect,” clearing the jam.

Greengrocer’s Wit: Much like choosing oranges, if you wait too long to make a move at an intersection, things start to get a bit sour!

Did the picture you saw have a specific “priority sign” on one of the roads, or was it a pure three-way standoff?
