What does yielding the right-of-way mean?

• A. giving others the right of way
• B. letting others go first
• C. stopping at every intersection
• D. accelerating to pass

Answer: (B)

Yielding the right-of-way means adjusting your behavior so that other road users who have priority go first, preventing conflicts and keeping traffic safe. The clearest way to express this action is letting others go first when the situation requires it—such as at intersections where another vehicle or a pedestrian has priority, or when merging onto a roadway. It isn’t about stopping at every intersection or racing to pass someone; those actions can create risk. While the idea of “giving others the right of way” is related, the practical habit is to let others proceed before you when the rules or the moment calls for it.
