What should you do if you see a "Yield" sign?

When you encounter a "Yield" sign, the correct approach is to slow down and prepare to give the right of way to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians. This sign indicates that you need to be cautious and ready to stop if necessary, but it does not require a complete stop unless there are vehicles or pedestrians that you must yield to.

The rationale for slowing down is to ensure that you can assess the situation at the intersection or merging area safely. Yielding is a critical part of maintaining safe traffic flow and ensuring the safety of all road users. Being prepared to yield means that you are aware of your surroundings and ready to respond appropriately to the behavior of other vehicles and pedestrians.

In this situation, accelerating and continuing would be dangerous as it could lead to collisions, and coming to a complete stop may be unnecessary unless traffic requires it. Ignoring the sign is also unsafe, as it disregards the need for caution and consideration of other road users.
