Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You reach a downward-pointing red-and-white YIELD sign where your street joins a busy road. Cars on the busy road pass every few seconds, and no one is walking nearby. When may you enter the busy road?
Correct answer: When a gap lets you enter without making those drivers slow down or swerve.
Why
The YIELD sign is the only downward-pointing triangle. Slow down, look for pedestrians and cross traffic, and stop only when it is necessary. The key test is the gap: if a driver on the other road must brake or change lanes because of you, you did not yield. In Pennsylvania, a crash with a vehicle in the intersection after you pass a YIELD sign is evidence that you failed to yield.
