Practice question

What should you do when you see a yield sign?

  1. Slow down and proceed cautiously
  2. Stop and wait for traffic to pass
  3. Change lanes and proceed with caution
  4. Speed up and have the right-of-way

Answer: A — Slow down and proceed cautiously

When you see a yield sign, you should slow down and proceed cautiously because this sign indicates that you must give the right-of-way to other vehicles. Option B is incorrect because you do not need to come to a complete stop unless there is oncoming traffic or a vehicle already in the intersection. Option C is incorrect because you should not change lanes when approaching a yield sign. Option D is incorrect because you should not speed up and take the right-of-way when you see a yield sign. Doing so can result in a collision with other vehicles that have the right-of-way.
