When you see a yellow sign with the word "caution" what should you do?

Speed up
Keep the current speed
Slow down
Stop

The correct answer is: Slow down

A You should never speed up when you see a caution sign because it is meant to alert you of a potential hazard ahead, so going faster would only increase the likelihood of an accident. B: Maintaining your current speed is not the best option when seeing a caution sign because it might be too fast for the road conditions ahead. C: This is the correct answer because it is important to slow down when you see a caution sign in order to best assess the potential danger and react accordingly. D: Stopping is not typically necessary when seeing a caution sign unless specified by the sign or if there is an imminent danger ahead. Slowing down is usually enough to safely navigate through the caution zone.
