What does a yield sign require you to do at an intersection or roadway you are entering?

• A. Stop completely before entering the intersection.
• B. Speed up to merge with traffic.
• C. Slow down and yield the right of way to traffic and pedestrians in the intersection or roadway you are entering.
• D. Ignore pedestrians.

Answer: (C)

Yield signs tell you to slow down and give the right of way to traffic and pedestrians in the intersection or roadway you’re entering. The idea is to approach with caution, check for vehicles already in or approaching the intersection, and only proceed when it’s safe. If someone has priority, you wait; if the way is clear, you may continue without stopping completely. This differs from a stop sign, which requires a full stop every time, and you should never ignore pedestrians who have the crossing signal or right of way.
