What should you do when approaching a yield sign?

When approaching a yield sign, the appropriate action is to slow down and yield to traffic. This means that you must give the right of way to any vehicles or pedestrians that are already in the intersection or approaching it closely enough to pose a hazard. Yield signs are used to warn drivers that they must let other road users go first, ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow. By slowing down, you can assess the situation, determine if it is safe to proceed, and avoid potential accidents. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and ready to stop if necessary, but stopping is not required unless there is a vehicle or pedestrian that you need to yield to.
