Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You are about to enter a busy road from a side street. A downward-pointing red and white triangle with the word YIELD faces you, and a car on the busy road is coming close. What must you do?
Correct answer: Slow down and let the car pass, and stop first if that is needed
Why
YIELD signs are placed where your road joins or crosses a road that has priority. If you must stop, New Mexico law says to stop before the near-side crosswalk, or at the stop line if there is no crosswalk, or else at the point nearest the cross road where you can see the traffic. The law also treats a crash with a vehicle in the intersection, after you drove past a YIELD sign without stopping, as evidence that you failed to yield.
