At a yield sign, when is it acceptable to enter the intersection?

At a yield sign, it is important to understand that the primary rule is to ensure the way is clear before proceeding. The correct approach is to enter only when the way is clear, meaning that there shouldn't be any vehicles or pedestrians that could pose a hazard. Yielding requires you to give up your right-of-way to others when necessary, and this is crucial for maintaining safety at intersections.

When approaching a yield sign, the vehicle must slow down and prepare to stop if there is another vehicle or pedestrian present. If you see that the intersection is clear, you can proceed without stopping. This means that without clear visibility and assurance that it's safe to continue, entering the intersection would not align with the rules governing yield signs.

Other options illustrate various misconceptions about yielding. For example, entering when there is no oncoming traffic might lead one to miss a pedestrian or a vehicle that is not immediately visible. The presence of a stop sign does not mandate that you must only proceed if there is one; the yield sign itself requires attention to traffic. Additionally, simply going when a light is green could suggest a misinterpretation of right-of-way rules, especially if cross traffic is present and may have a right to proceed. It's critical to assess the traffic flow
