Traffic signs

The YIELD Sign........
yield sign page

Why do people stop at this sign when there is no cross traffic? This is not a STOP sign..

What it means: Prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed.
the key words here are STOP IF NECESSARY

Are you a slow driver? use the slow Lane....














Below is an an insert from the CA DMV manual

Choose A Lane.

Image of a multi-lane divided highway.

Drive in the lane with the smoothest flow of traffic. If you can choose among three lanes, pick the middle lane for the smoothest driving. To drive faster, pass, or turn left, use the left lane. When you choose to drive slowly or enter or turn off the road, use the right lane.

If there are only two lanes in your direction, pick the right lane for the smoothest driving.

Do not weave in and out of traffic. Stay in one lane as much as possible. Once you start through an intersection, keep going. If you start to make a turn, follow through. Last minute changes may cause collisions. If you miss a turn, continue until you can safely and legally turn around.
