Which violation is failing to yield when entering a roadway?

• A. Fail to yield entering a roadway
• B. Fail to turn as required
• C. Unsafe start
• D. Speed not reasonable/prudent

Answer: (A)

Entering a roadway from a driveway or curb requires giving the right-of-way to traffic already on the road. You must wait for a safe gap and proceed only when it’s clear. That specific action—not yielding when you merge into or cross an active road—is the violation described as failing to yield entering a roadway. The other options describe different driving errors: not turning as required is about improper turning behavior, an unsafe start is starting movement in a way that could cause a hazard, and speed not reasonable/prudent concerns driving speed relative to conditions. The scenario focuses on the obligation to yield before entering the roadway, which is why this is the correct concept.
