What is a "yield sign"?
A yield sign is a traffic sign that tells drivers to slow down and give the right of way to other vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding. The sign is typically triangular with a red border and white or yellow background. When approaching a yield sign, drivers must check for other road users and only proceed when it is safe to do so. The goal of a yield sign is to reduce the risk of accidents by managing the flow of traffic at busy or merging areas without requiring a complete stop.
Examples
When you approach a yield sign, you should slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.
The yield sign at the intersection reminded drivers to be cautious and yield to oncoming traffic.
