Explanation
A yield sign requires drivers to slow down and prepare to stop if any conflict exists with pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles in the intersection. Unlike a stop sign, you don't necessarily need to make a complete stop if the way is clear - but you must always reduce speed and be ready to yield right-of-way. The key distinction is that yield signs give you the option to proceed without stopping when safe, while stop signs always require a full stop regardless of traffic conditions.
