1 Answers
"Yield to Oncoming Traffic" is a type of traffic regulatory sign indicating that vehicles facing this sign must stop and yield the right of way to oncoming vehicles. Below are strategies for safe oncoming traffic encounters: 1. Observe: Check the model, speed, and load condition of the approaching vehicle, the width and stability of the road ahead, nearby pedestrians and vehicles, as well as parked cars or obstacles on the roadside; 2. Estimate: Through observation and comparison, estimate the approximate position and road occupation when the two vehicles meet, ensuring sufficient lateral safety distance; 3. Slow down: Reduce speed during the encounter. If conditions are unfavorable when approaching the meeting point, further control the speed. Do not proceed blindly—stop if necessary to ensure a smooth passage for both vehicles.
