Question

Difficulty: EasyRegulatory Signs

A driver approaching a red and white triangular 'YIELD' sign is legally required to bring their vehicle to a complete stop before entering the intersection, regardless of whether cross traffic is present.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because a regulatory YIELD sign requires drivers to reduce speed and yield right-of-way, requiring a complete stop only when conflicting traffic or pedestrians are present.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Recall the legal rule associated with a regulatory YIELD sign.
Drivers must slow down, check for traffic, and grant right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians.
YIELD signs regulate traffic flow by assigning priority without requiring unnecessary stops.
2
Evaluate the condition specified in the statement.
The statement claims a full stop is mandatory 'regardless of whether cross traffic is present', which describes a STOP sign rule.
A driver is only required to stop at a YIELD sign if traffic or pedestrian hazards exist.
