Practice question

What must you do when approaching an intersection that has a yield sign?

  1. Slow down and then proceed
  2. Come to a stop
  3. Look both ways before entering
  4. Speed up

Answer: A — Slow down and then proceed

When approaching an intersection with a yield sign, the driver must slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. Yield signs require drivers to give the right-of-way to any other approaching vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection. Speeding up, stopping, or not checking for other vehicles can lead to accidents, making B, C, and D incorrect options. Slowing down and proceeding with caution is the safest and most appropriate action to take when facing a yield sign.
