What does a yield sign require you to do?

A yield sign indicates that you must be prepared to slow down and, if necessary, come to a complete stop to allow other vehicles or pedestrians the right-of-way. The primary purpose of the yield sign is to ensure safety at intersections or when merging with other traffic. By slowing down and assessing the situation, you can determine whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop to allow another road user to go first. This sign does not mandate a complete stop unless the situation requires it, which emphasizes the importance of being vigilant and responsive to the specific traffic conditions you encounter.
