Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You approach a red and white triangle sign that points down and has the word YIELD. As you get near, you see no vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians on the cross road or in the crosswalk. Which action follows Rhode Island law?
Correct answer: Slow down and continue without a full stop, because no one needs you to yield
Why
The downward-pointing triangle is used only for the YIELD sign, so you can know it even from far away. If a vehicle, bicyclist or pedestrian is near, you must give them the right-of-way and stop if needed. The manual also says that at an intersection with no signs or signals, you must act as if a YIELD sign were there.
