What does a yield sign mean?
Is a yield sign the same as a stop sign? I’m a little bit confused about the difference between them, but it doesn’t make sense for them to mean the same thing.

A yield sign isn’t the same as a stop sign, but they are similar! When you encounter a yield sign, it means that you’ll need to allow oncoming traffic or pedestrians to go first before you continue driving. If no other people or vehicles are coming from the other direction, you don’t need to come to a complete stop.
At a stop sign, you must always come to a complete stop. Even a rolling stop can get you a ticket. This is why stop signs are more common at four-way intersections, while yield signs are more common when merging or entering a roundabout.
While you’re learning more about road signs, why not learn about your insurance options, too? The
