white on a red background. The octagonal shape is used for stop signs only. The stop sign is usually
posted six to fifty feet from the intersection. When you approach this sign, the law requires you to come
to a full stop. Do not proceed to move again until you are sure the way is clear.
Yield - ANSWER✔✔-The yield sign is triangular shaped with the point at the bottom. This sign is red and
white with the word "YIELD" in large letters at the top. When you approach the yield sign, you must slow

avoid interfering with that traffic, you must stop and wait for it to pass.
