Keep going forward and then go about your business. But otherwise if you've disengaged the clutch you'll need to revmatch in order to stop the car from bogging down.

I just used the yield sign thing as an example of a time where I think I am going to stop but then it turns out that I need to keep going. Perhaps I anticipate too much and take the car out of gear too soon so that's definitely something to work on. But my question is more about what to do once I'm already in that situation.
