What should you do when approaching an intersection with no signs?

When approaching an intersection with no signs, the safest action is to slow down and be prepared to yield. This approach allows you to assess the situation and take necessary precautions based on the traffic flow and any other vehicles or pedestrians that may be present. By reducing your speed, you increase your ability to stop if necessary, ensuring you can react appropriately to unexpected circumstances.

In many situations, approaches to intersections require a level of prudence, especially when the right of way is unclear. Being prepared to yield means recognizing that other vehicles may be entering the intersection from different directions, and staying cautious allows for safe navigation through the intersection.

Taking an alternate action, such as accelerating through the intersection, turning left without considering other traffic, or proceeding without caution, could lead to dangerous situations. These actions lack the necessary caution and awareness needed when navigating intersections that don’t have regulatory signs. Therefore, the focus on slowing down and being ready to yield is the most responsible and safe choice.
