How should you respond to a yield sign?

• A. Slow down, look for traffic and pedestrians, and yield to those with the right-of-way.
• B. Stop completely.
• C. Speed up to merge.
• D. Ignore if no one is near.

Answer: (A)

When you see a yield sign, you slow down and give the right of way to traffic and pedestrians. Approach with reduced speed, look for vehicles on the road you’re entering or crossing, and proceed only when it’s safe. If another road or someone in a crosswalk has priority, wait until it’s clear before moving. You don’t have to stop every time—only if traffic or pedestrians require it. The other options aren’t correct because stopping completely isn’t always required, speeding up to merge is unsafe, and ignoring the sign when no one is nearby can lead to a crash or a ticket.
