How often does one see a Yield sign? I've seen 2-3 over 20 years driving.

Pearl Jam cover of yield album had a red and white one I think. That's the tie breaker lol.

Yes, some places were very slow to change the signs. I read even into the 1990s, but I suspect even later. I mean, there are some yield signs in remote places.

But, I have seen the red and white ones. I just think of the yellow ones first.

Yellow was a better color for the yield sign, in my opinion. Maybe that's why I remember it more. But, the other one says "yield", so that works, too.

THE BALTIMORE SUN
July 23 2003


QUICK. WHAT color are yield signs? Of course. They're yellow with black edging and lettering. Everyone knows that.

Last month, a number of readers commented on yield signs, in particular, the yield sign from the Route 100 west ramp onto Long Gate Parkway.

Ellicott City's Carl Whitmire responded to these comments, in particular, to Steve Clarkson, who said regarding yield signs and Maryland drivers: "Heck, most of them don't even know how to spell it. They view a triangular yellow sign as a challenge. ... "

"I had to chuckle after reading Steve Clarkson's response to the input from Seth Mann," said Whitmire. "Mr. Clarkson's quote made me wonder about Mr. Clarkson's own traffic sign knowledge. Hopefully he's not teaching drivers ed."

"He's got his shapes down, but needs to work on his colors," Whitmire continued. "Yield signs are red, not yellow. Have been for probably 20 years."

Mr. Clarkson, I'm in no position to make fun. Read on.

"Actually, are you sure they're red? If you know of red ones, let me know where so I can get them photographed," I immediately responded, via e-mail, to Mr. Whitmire. (I didn't bother to check - I know what color yield signs are.) "The yield signs near my home/office are all yellow, with black lettering. Red is for stop (with white lettering). Yellow is the universal color for caution."

Probably chuckling, he wrote back: "I would invite you to look more carefully. If we are both truly talking about real 'yield' signs, every one of them is a triangular shape, point down, and are red, with a white inside, and the word 'yield' is also in red. Perhaps you're thinking about the yellow, diamond shaped (not triangular) signs that have an 'arrow' lane merging into another arrow lane. That is not a yield sign, it simply informs the driver of something that is about to happen ahead. When you get to where it does happen, there is usually a yield sign, and I'll guarantee you it's red."

Then he noted: "The question 'What color is a yield sign?' is one of the most frequently missed questions on a driver's test, particularly when taken by an older person, because they used to be yellow."
...

Every place I remember one and check now has been turned into a full stop sign, and many of the intersections redesigned to new federal standards.
The one place I was sure had a yield is now a white/red, but that a lane that historically the predominate through lane with no stopping, so it must have been yellow then changed.

Only been driving since 1982 or so. The "Yield" signs have always been red and white.

Triangle shape at intersections.


Confusing for many drivers. I was a driving instructor in 1986.

Nobody understands what they mean anyway.

But I have been in about 40/50 states and lived in the Northeast, Midwest and Northwest.

Yellow like all advisory signs, warnings and commands are red.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69313158


yield is NOT an advisory sign, it is a command

it is telling you to stop if there is traffic present in the intersecting roadway

which is probably why they changed it from yellow to red years ago

if you do not follow the command, you will get in a crash
