Which statement describes the effect of stop signs and yield signs on traffic control?

• A. They indicate how fast you must drive
• B. They determine right-of-way
• C. They require you to stop at every sign
• D. They only apply to commercial vehicles

Answer: (B)

Stop signs and yield signs control traffic by assigning who has the right-of-way at intersections. They tell you who should go first to prevent collisions: a stop sign requires a full stop and proceeding when the way is clear, and a yield sign means you slow down and let other traffic or pedestrians pass before you continue if needed. These signs establish priority among vehicles and pedestrians, which is why they’re about right-of-way. They don’t set a specific speed, don’t require stopping at every sign, and apply to all vehicles, not just commercial ones.
