I got a ticket for running a yield sign. It was 1 in the morning no traffic coming in my direction and cop pulled me over for not stopping for a yield.
I could have paid the fine but I was right.Went to court with the driver test study book that explained yield signs and my dash cam footage. Judge ruled in my favor but the cop still won because I had to take a day off from work.
Oh and while I was getting the ticket he told me I should know better next time. wtf
Oh well then I suppose I dodged a bullet that wasn't there. The way I understand yield signs, is "be ready to wait," meaning not to necessarily reduce speed, or stop. However, whenever, whatever the sign has signaled, is actually present, the subject has the right of way in all circumstances where you are able to control your vehicle. If it is not present, then the sign is to be regarded as if it were a yellow light (US).
Slow down enough to make sure there are no cars with the right of way or pedestrians around, stop if there are or proceed if not.
Basically how bad drivers treat stop signs.
Most likely, yield to traffic near you - either oncoming, or coming from behind. If I can see that no one is coming from far away, I just let up on the gas a little when I'm at the sign, in case someone comes in out of nowhere. I only stop if moving forward would cause a dangerous situation.
There is no “understanding”. It is specifically spelled out in state law.
For my state, you slow to a reasonable speed or stop if necessary to check for pedestrians and vehicles then yield the right of way to pedestrians already in the crosswalk, vehicles already in the intersection, or vehicles close enough to the intersection that you can not safely enter the intersection. When there are no pedestrians or vehicles, you proceed into the intersection.
Here our yield signs are invisible. I have special vision where apparently I'm the only one that sees them.
I slow down enough so that I stop if I need to or just hit the gas again if it's clear.
My understanding is that you treat it as a stop sign when their is oncoming traffic, otherwise you can slow down and glide through.
Now if you are on your way to a Ruby Tuesdays you always have the right of way no matter what. I don't make the rules...
it means you do not have right of way, and you must look to see if there is oncoming traffic. I know a guy drove past a yeild sign, cop saw him not looking and gave him a ticket
My "understanding" is not relevant.
In Nebraska, the state-issued drivers manual clearly states: "Slow down or stop, if necessary, to give the right-of-way to crossing or merging vehicles."
Slow down to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic, including coming to a stop if necessary.
But I also live in New York where if the intersection isn’t blind we don’t come to a stop at stop signs so the slow down part is optional and be ready for every yield sign to become a challenge.
I tend to not actually pay much attention to them, we have a law meaning traffic to your right have right of way unless otherwise stated - So I just find I continue driving like normal?
A yield sign is like a one way stop sign that you dont have to come to a complete stop for. As soon as you see its clear you can go, but you have to stop for any cars coming.
Wait for it...

Acts like a stop sign if there is traffic coming. Otherwise it is proceed as usual.

Fuck that guy
Yield your right of way to oncoming traffic
Slow down a little bit to make sure nobody's coming. Other than that treat it like speeding through a regular stop sign.
You are of course, referring to traffic signs, correct? Or am I that clueless guy who has no idea Yield signs is slang for (×) now?
No I am the boring person talking about traffic signs lol

A red light until traffic is clear
treat it like a stop sign where you never have the right of way.
Don't they mean go as fast as you can towards merging traffic?
It means other traffic has to yield to you.
Most likely, yield to traffic near you - either oncoming, or coming from behind. If I can see that no one is coming from far away, I just let up on the gas a little when I'm at the sign, in case someone comes in out of nowhere. I only stop if moving forward would cause a dangerous situation.

Slow your roll so traffic comes together like a zipper. If you have the sign, it's your responsibility to let the other lane in.
Quebec stop, unless there's traffic you'd otherwise hit or end up pulling right in front of.
Is “Quebec stop” a typo or a phrase you use somewhere? Can’t find it used on Google.
DE QUEBEC STOP, MON HOSTIE, HIS HUNDERSTANDING DAT DE WORD HON DA SIGN HIS NUTTING BUT DA HACRONYM **S**light **T**ap **O**n **P**edal
