When are you required to yield your right of way?

Yielding the right of way is an important aspect of road safety and traffic laws. You are required to yield your right of way when merging into traffic because this action involves entering a lane where other vehicles are already traveling. It is crucial to ensure that you do not disrupt the flow of traffic or create hazardous situations for yourself and other drivers. Merging requires careful judgment about the speed and distance of vehicles already on the roadway, and yielding facilitates a smoother and safer integration into traffic.

While it is true that yielding is often associated with stop signs or emergency vehicles, the right of way rules apply beyond those specific scenarios. Therefore, although the option indicating yielding at all times sounds comprehensive, it may be misleading as it can imply that yielding would be required even when it is not necessary, such as at intersections where one has the right of way.
