What should you do if you encounter a yield sign ahead?

  1. Speed up to merge with traffic.

  2. Come to a complete stop.

  3. Slow down and prepare to stop.

  4. Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

The correct answer is: Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

When you encounter a yield sign ahead, you should yield the right-of-way to other vehicles. This means that you must allow any other vehicles that have the right-of-way to pass before you proceed. Speeding up to merge with traffic or coming to a complete stop are incorrect as they do not prioritize yielding to other vehicles. Slow down and prepare to stop is also incorrect as stopping is not always necessary when yielding. The key is to always be aware and give the right-of-way to others to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow.
