At a yield sign, you should...

• A. Slow down and yield
• B. Stop completely
• C. Accelerate
• D. Stop then proceed

Answer: (A)

Yield signs tell you to slow down and let other road users go first. You reduce your speed to a safe level and proceed only when the way is clear, giving the right of way to vehicles already in or approaching the intersection and to pedestrians crossing. You don’t automatically stop unless someone or something requires it, and you don’t speed through—you wait for a safe gap to enter or cross.

Stopping completely isn’t the default requirement at a yield sign; you stop only if another vehicle or pedestrian has priority and is too close to proceed safely. Accelerating through the intersection is unsafe, and stopping and then proceeding without cause isn’t required either unless you can’t enter safely.
