What does a Yield sign require you to do?

• A. Stop completely and wait for a green light.
• B. Slow down and yield the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians; proceed only when clear.
• C. Turn left immediately.
• D. Increase speed to merge.

Answer: (D)

A Yield sign tells you to slow down and give the right of way to traffic and pedestrians already in or approaching the intersection. You proceed only when it’s clear and safe. This means you don’t have to come to a full stop, but you must be prepared to stop if another vehicle or person would be protected by your yielding. The key is letting others go first and merging or crossing only when your path is clear. So, you don’t speed up to merge, and you don’t stop unless you need to wait for a safe gap. The idea is to approach with caution, reduce speed, scan for potential conflicts, and proceed when the way is clear.
