This traffic sign indicates...

• A. Yield sign ahead.
• B. Stop sign ahead.
• C. Construction ahead.
• D. No passing ahead.

Answer: (A)

Warning signs alert you to changes or conditions ahead, and the diamond shape signals a general caution. A yellow diamond sign showing the yield symbol tells you that you’re approaching a point where you must slow down and be prepared to give the right of way to traffic on the cross street. In practice, you should scan for oncoming vehicles, reduce speed, and proceed only when it’s safe, letting other drivers go first if they’re approaching. This differs from a stop-ahead sign, which would require a complete stop; construction ahead, which signals road work and possible equipment or workers; or no passing ahead, which forbids passing on the road ahead. So the sign indicates yield ahead.
