Nevada DMV Permit Practice Exam

What should drivers do when they see a yield sign?

Stop completely Proceed without lowering speed Slow down and give right of way Speed up to pass quickly

Correct Answer:

Slow down and give right of way

Explanation:

When drivers see a yield sign, they should slow down and give the right of way to other vehicles or pedestrians. The purpose of a yield sign is to indicate that drivers must prepare to stop if necessary and allow other traffic to proceed. This helps maintain safe traffic flow at intersections and ensures that priority is given to those already in or approaching the intersection. Slowing down allows drivers to assess the situation, ensuring they can safely navigate the intersection without causing disruption or danger to themselves or others. In contrast, stopping completely is not always required unless necessary for safety, and proceeding without lowering speed or speeding up to pass quickly contradicts the fundamental goal of yielding to other traffic.
