What should you do at a yield sign?

A yield sign means you must slow down and give the right of way to traffic on the main road and to pedestrians. You assess the gap, and proceed only when it’s safe. You don’t have to stop if there’s no traffic or pedestrians entering your path, but you must be prepared to stop if needed to avoid a collision. This is why the best choice is to slow down, yield to others who have the right of way, and go only when it’s safe. Accelerating to merge is unsafe, ignoring the sign isn’t allowed, and stopping completely every time isn’t required at a yield sign unless safety requires it.
