What is the proper action when approaching a yield sign?

  1. Speed up to merge with traffic

  2. Stop and wait for other vehicles

  3. Slow down and prepare to stop for oncoming traffic

  4. Ignore the sign

The correct answer is: Slow down and prepare to stop for oncoming traffic

When approaching a yield sign, the proper action is to slow down and prepare to stop for oncoming traffic. A yield sign indicates that you must give the right of way to any traffic that is already on the roadway you are entering, or any pedestrians in that area. By slowing down, you ensure that you have the opportunity to assess the traffic conditions and make a safe decision about merging or entering the roadway. This approach prioritizes safety for both the driver and other road users. Yielding helps to prevent accidents that could occur from misjudging the speed or distance of oncoming vehicles. It's crucial to remain alert and be ready to stop if necessary, instead of assuming that you can proceed without caution, which is often implied in other options.
