Rules of the Road
At a yield sign where you are about to merge onto a road, you must:
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Slow down or stop if necessary and yield to traffic on the intersecting road
A yield sign creates a conditional stop — proceed only after giving the right-of-way to traffic already on the intersecting road. A full stop is only required when necessary to let that traffic pass. This is the key difference from a stop sign.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Come to a complete stop regardless of trafficFull stop is only required when necessary; unlike stop signs, yield signs allow proceeding without stopping when the way is clear.
- C.Maintain your speed and mergeMaintaining speed ignores the yield obligation and is the most common cause of yield-sign collisions.
- D.Proceed first since you are coming from a main roadYield signs remove your priority; you do not have right-of-way just because you are on what appears to be a main road.
