Question Analysis
In Texas, a yield sign (inverted triangle) means you must slow down and, if necessary, stop to give the right-of-way to traffic on the intersecting road and to pedestrians. The Texas Driver Handbook states that at a yield sign you should slow down, be prepared to stop, and yield to all traffic already in or approaching the intersection. You do not have to come to a complete stop unless traffic conditions require it.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: Slow down and yield the right-of-way to other traffic.
The correct answer is 'Slow down and yield the right-of-way to other traffic.' This matches the legal requirement: a yield sign does not mandate a full stop, but it does require you to reduce speed and let other vehicles (and pedestrians) go first when they have the right-of-way.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Always stop before entering the intersection.
A yield sign does not require an 'always stop' like a stop sign. You only stop if necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic.
Option: Yield just to the traffic on the right.
Yielding only to traffic on the right is incorrect; you must yield to all traffic that has the right-of-way, regardless of direction.
Option: Yield just to the traffic on the left.
Yielding only to traffic on the left is also incorrect; the yield requirement applies to all approaching traffic, not just from one side.
