Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
Your street meets a busier road at a red and white triangle sign that points down and reads YIELD. As you approach, you see no vehicle, bicycle or pedestrian near the intersection. What must you do?
Correct answer: Slow down, look both ways, and enter without a stop if it is clear
Why
The yield sign tells you that traffic on the other road has the right-of-way. Slow down early so that you can look for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. If you must stop, stop where you would for a STOP sign. Under SDCL 32-29-3, if you pass a yield sign without a stop and then hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection, the crash is evidence that you did not yield.
