When nearing an intersection marked with a "yield rights of way" sign, what must you do?

  1. Speed up to cross quickly

  2. Merge into the other lane

  3. Stop and wait for other vehicles to pass

  4. Look at your phone for directions

The correct answer is: Stop and wait for other vehicles to pass

When nearing an intersection marked with a "yield rights of way" sign, the correct thing to do is to choose option C: stop and wait for other vehicles to pass. This sign indicates that you must yield the right of way to vehicles in the intersection or approaching from another direction. By stopping and waiting for other vehicles to pass, you are ensuring a safe and smooth flow of traffic and preventing any potential accidents. Speeding up to cross quickly (option A) is dangerous and could lead to a collision. Merging into the other lane (option B) is not the appropriate action when facing a yield sign. Looking at your phone for directions (option D) is extremely unsafe and can lead to distracted driving, which is a major cause of accidents on the road.
