What should you do if you approach a yield sign and there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk?

Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross completely.
Slow down and proceed with caution, yielding to the pedestrian.
Honk your horn to alert the pedestrian and proceed.
Drive around the pedestrian and continue without stopping.

The correct answer is: Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross completely.

If you approach a yield sign and there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk, you should always come to a complete stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross completely. This option is correct because it follows proper traffic laws and shows consideration and respect for pedestrians, who have the right of way in crosswalks. Option B is also a possible correct answer, as it suggests slowing down and yielding to the pedestrian, but it may not always be safe to proceed with caution depending on the situation. Options C and D are both dangerous and incorrect, as honking or driving around the pedestrian can startle or endanger them. As a driver, it is important to prioritize the safety of pedestrians and follow traffic laws to avoid accidents.
