Note: Yield signs are a traffic control device located where lanes of traffic converge and are intended to provide motorists in one of the lanes to have the right-of-way to proceed safely. A common mistake by drivers is to speed up and merge with the traffic that has the right of way, instead of coming to a stop and allowing those with the right-of-way to pass. If the yield sign is in your lane, approach the intersection with caution and be prepared to stop.
