What is the proper action when you see a yield sign?

When you see a yield sign, the main idea is to give the right-of-way to other traffic and pedestrians. You should slow down, be prepared to stop if necessary, and proceed only when it’s safe to do so. If nothing is coming and there are no pedestrians, you can go without stopping. If another vehicle or a pedestrian is approaching, you wait until there’s a safe gap, then merge or turn when it’s clear. So the correct action is to slow down, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when it is safe. The other options aren’t correct because you don’t always have to stop completely, you shouldn’t speed up to merge, and you shouldn’t turn left immediately without yielding.
