What should you do when approaching an intersection without traffic signs or signals?

  1. Slow down and proceed with caution.

  2. Come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way.

  3. Speed up to clear the intersection quickly.

  4. Proceed without reducing speed.

The correct answer is: Come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way.

In general, when approaching an intersection without traffic signs or signals, you should come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way. This ensures safety and allows you to assess the situation before proceeding. Option A, slowing down and proceeding with caution, may not be enough to prevent accidents and could cause confusion for other drivers. Option C, speeding up to clear the intersection quickly, is dangerous and could result in a collision with other vehicles. Option D, proceeding without reducing speed, is also unsafe as it does not allow for enough time to react to unexpected hazards. Overall, option B is the safest and most appropriate choice in this scenario.
