Is the driver of a bus continuing straight ahead required to give way to a truck?

Explanation

Required — the bus must give way to the truck. Look at the traffic light over the intersection: none of its lamps is lit. A dark signal (like a flashing amber) takes the intersection out of the controlled category and turns it into an uncontrolled one, after which priority is decided by signs, and where there are none, by the rule for intersections of equal roads. There is no priority sign on your approach — the blue sign on the right merely announces a dead-end side road and has nothing to do with priority — so this is an intersection of equal roads and you give way to the vehicle on your right, which is exactly where the green truck comes from. Note that a dead-end road is still a road and its junction is a real intersection.
