Sample question from test 6
signs
What does a yield sign tell a driver to do before entering or crossing a road?
- Slow down and wait for traffic to clear
- Accelerate into the first available gap
- Wait for a green signal at the sign
- Stop for exactly ten seconds
Answer: Slow down and wait for traffic to clear. A yield sign tells a driver to slow down and wait for traffic to clear on the road being entered or crossed. The driver gives way to vehicles or pedestrians with the right-of-way, stopping when the gap is not safe. A yield sign does not require a green signal, a ten-second pause, or entry into the intersection before looking. Approach under control, scan the conflict area, and continue only when the road user with priority has cleared or a safe gap is available.
