Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24659100 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. So let me get this straight: You have 'ONLY' been driving for 37 years ... Yet you never seen a yellow yield sign! Is this correct? I'm a J & proud zio.

(19 PAGES - still no consensus after 3 years!! TIME PARADOX EVIDENCE???) people don't get too freaked out over this yield signs have become less and less common than they used to be they are not very safe because if there is perpendicular traffic that is NOT stopping for you, it is better to just stop every time similarly, are less two-way stop intersections 4-way is much safer, |

(19 PAGES - still no consensus after 3 years!! TIME PARADOX EVIDENCE???) this phenomenon is not nearly so mind blowing as this guy is making it out to be there are much fewer yield signs out there because they have been replacing them with 2-way stop signs for safety reasons so most of the yeild signs that you saw when you were driving probably were yellow, and that's the first thing that comes to mind let me guess- he was selling audio tapes on how to change your perception of life blah blah blah and he was trying to make himself look like some kind of genius |

Anyway, driving students don't understand them and neither do most licensed drivers of various ages and experience. To me, driving at the Speed limit on the freeway, a "yield" sign tells me "idiots merging now without considering traffic patterns". That is the Reality. |

Personally I never see them. But, I find them to be ineffective due to lack of driver education. People merge onto freeway lanes without right of way when they see a "yield" sign. |

Since you don't see these as much as other signs you probably never noticed that it has changed. You just see the words. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77181486 It's like the Mandela Effect.
