What do you need to do when you see a yield sign?

When you see a yield sign, the correct action is to slow down and yield to oncoming traffic. This means that you must prepare to give way to vehicles and pedestrians that are already in the intersection or approaching from the intersecting road. The purpose of a yield sign is to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, indicating that you should assess the situation, and if necessary, allow others to proceed before you continue through the intersection.

This approach emphasizes the importance of being cautious and aware of your surroundings rather than simply rushing through an intersection because you see a gap in traffic. Yielding effectively reduces the risk of collisions, especially at intersections where visibility may be compromised or where traffic may be unusually busy.
