Which action best describes driving when you see a yield sign in your lane?

• A. Slow down and stop if necessary
• B. Speed up to pass the sign
• C. Stop instantly and back up
• D. Continue at original speed

Answer: (A)

Yield signs require you to slow down and give the right of way to traffic and pedestrians already in or approaching the intersection. When you see one, reduce your speed and be prepared to stop if another vehicle or person has priority. If the cross traffic is clear and you can merge safely, you may proceed without stopping, but you still approach with caution. This approach is the best because it prioritizes safety and follows the rule to let others go first. Speeding up to pass, stopping instantly and backing up, or continuing at full speed would all ignore the priority of other road users and raise the risk of a collision.
