What should you do?
Slow down on approach, be ready to stop at the broken yield line, and enter only when there is a safe gap without forcing other road users to brake.
How to recognise it
A downward-pointing white triangle with a red border and the word YIELD in black.
Common confusion
A Yield sign does not require you to stop if the way is clear, whereas a Stop sign always does; do not confuse it with the upward-pointing triangular warning signs.
