When approaching a yield sign, you should

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

Answer: (A)

When you see a yield sign, your job is to merge safely by letting others go first. You should slow down and scan for traffic and pedestrians, then give the right-of-way to any vehicles already in the intersection or approaching closely enough to be a hazard, and to pedestrians in crosswalks. If the way is clear, you can proceed without stopping; if not, you wait briefly until there’s a safe gap. This is the best approach because a yield sign means you must let others take priority and only move when it’s safe. Stopping completely when the way is clear, turning left immediately, or continuing without adjusting your speed and yielding is not correct behavior for a yield sign.
