The sign that shows a red triangular sign that says "yield" means:

  1. Always come to a complete stop.

  2. Slow down and yield to traffic on the main road when merging.

  3. Give your turn signal and proceed into traffic at regular speed.

  4. Are designed to prevent whiplash if hit from behind.

The correct answer is: Always come to a complete stop.

The correct answer is A: Always come to a complete stop. When you see a red triangular sign that says "yield," it means that you must slow down and be prepared to stop to let other vehicles or pedestrians have the right-of-way. It does not mean you can simply merge into traffic at regular speed or that it is designed to prevent whiplash if hit from behind. The sign is a crucial reminder to drivers to always prioritize safety and courtesy on the road by yielding when necessary.
