This sign means?
- Railway crossing ahead
- Oncoming traffic must stop
- Yield the right of way ✓
- School zone ahead
Answer: C. Yield the right of way
This sign means you must yield the right of way, letting traffic already in the intersection or close to it go first.
Why this is the answer
The handbook describes the yield sign as meaning you let traffic in the intersection or close to it go first. You stop if that is necessary and move only once the way is clear. That matches yielding the right of way, which the handbook explains as letting another driver go first. It is not a full stop sign, and it does not give you priority — the other traffic goes ahead of you when it is already there or nearly there.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Railway crossing ahead — A railway crossing sign is a separate sign that warns tracks cross the road and tells you to slow down and look both ways for trains.
- B. Oncoming traffic must stop — The sign does not tell oncoming traffic to stop; it tells you to let traffic already in or near the intersection go first.
- D. School zone ahead — A school zone sign is a different sign that warns you are coming to a school zone, where you slow down and watch for children.
Remember it
Think of it as a polite gate: the other traffic goes through first, and you follow when the way is clear.
