What should a driver do when they see a yield sign?

When a driver sees a yield sign, the appropriate action is to slow down and yield to any oncoming traffic. The purpose of a yield sign is to indicate that the driver must give way to other vehicles or pedestrians that have the right of way. This means that while you are not required to come to a complete stop unless necessary, you should reduce your speed and be prepared to stop if there is any oncoming traffic or pedestrians that may cross your path.

This allows for safe merging into traffic or turning onto another road, ensuring that all drivers can navigate intersections or road merges without conflict. By yielding, you contribute to the overall safety of the roadway and demonstrate good driving practices.
