When you see a yield sign, what action is required?

• A. Reduce speed and give the right-of-way to other traffic or pedestrians; proceed when safe
• B. Stop immediately
• C. Accelerate to pass
• D. Ignore and continue

Answer: (D)

A yield sign means you slow down and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in or approaching the intersection, proceeding only when it’s safe. As you approach, reduce speed, scan for other vehicles and people, and be prepared to stop if another road user is close enough to create a hazard. If there’s a clear gap and no one else is near, you may proceed with caution. You don’t have to stop if the way is clear, but you must yield whenever someone else has priority. This rules out stopping immediately, speeding through to pass, or ignoring the sign.
