Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
Your street meets a highway at a red-and-white triangle sign, point down, with the word YIELD. As you arrive, the highway is empty for a long way in both directions, and no one is walking or riding a bicycle near the corner. What does Texas law require?
Correct answer: Slow to a safe speed, check both ways, and go on without a full stop
Why
The downward-pointing triangle is used only for YIELD signs, so you can know it from far away. Slow down enough to check the cross road and the crosswalk, and stop when your entry would put a driver, a pedestrian or a bicyclist in danger. In Texas, if you drive past a YIELD sign without stopping and then hit a vehicle in the intersection, the crash itself is evidence that you failed to yield.
