When approaching the yield sign, you shall slow down or stop as necessary and yield to pedestrians or to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway.

• A. True
• B. Only pedestrians
• C. Only vehicles
• D. False

Answer: (A)

Yield signs require you to slow down and give the right-of-way to pedestrians and to any vehicle that is in the intersection or approaching on the cross street. You proceed only when it’s safe, letting pedestrians cross and letting cross-traffic pass if they’re or may be in the intersection. This is why the statement is true: it covers both pedestrians and other vehicles on the intersecting or approaching road. If there’s no pedestrian or traffic, you can move through without stopping, but you must yield if they’re present.
