Stop Signs were YELLOW in the current USA history until 1954.

No one has been been able to prove that I'm wrong about the US traffic signs so far...

Not sure if trolling or just very stupid. Who keeps pinning this shit?

Except half the posters on your other thread

:putin;

Half the posters who claimed the signs were yellow on the other thread were unable to take a photo of a single yellow yield sign.

And those who checked it out for themselves find out to their "AMAZEMENT" that that sign they thought was yellow, was in fact RED & WHITE.

And never in Canada either. Red.

Ok np.

Why does this matter?

1954 was an interesting year, like 1967

There aren’t yellow noe, so current is the wrong word maybe they were in the past, long before I was born

why does anything matter?

Life is a bitch then you die!


But more seriously:

It matters because the majority of people in the US who were driving in the 50's and 60's & 70's do not recall this fact.

Yet most people still think the yield sign is yellow, yet many of them were not even born in 1972 when all Yellow yield signs were replaced with red & white yield signs.

You have exactly the same phenomenon a few years a part.

With the stop sign - it used to be yellow, now is red, no one remember the first version.

With the yield sign - it used to be yellow, now is red, most people remember the first version and are not even aware of the 1972 swap to red & white.

Why would that be?

It certainly puts into doubt the validity of eye witness testimony.

"Yes - in fact, yellow was the standard color for STOP signs for nearly 30 years.
The first STOP sign appeared in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan. There were a variety of colors used for STOP signs until the late 1920s, when the background color was standardized on yellow for maximum day and night visibility. Remember that this was a number of years before the invention of glass-bead retroreflectorization for sign faces, so a red sign looked very dark at night.

By 1954, signmakers were able to use durable fade-resistant red coatings for sign faces, so the background color of the STOP sign was changed to the red color you see today. This change also served to distinguish the regulatory STOP sign from yellow warning signs, and also made the color consistent with that of red traffic signal indications, which for decades had used red to signal "stop"."

Red indicates stop.
Yellow indicates yield or slow.
Green means go.

I could see them changing it tho because the sun is bleeching everything at a rapid pace. What color are stop signs in Mexico? Let me ask the great Goggle... Red. And stop is "alto".

Yield sign in US is red & white since 1972.

Check out the 'yield sign effect thread'

Thread: YIELD SIGN EFFECT: What color is the US 'yield sign' ? (19 PAGES - still no consensus after 3 years!! TIME PARADOX EVIDENCE???)

Red is less visible and would cause more fatalities. Gotta get the population down.

You just explained the white and black stop signs I can remember from the deep south. Thank you. Those had always puzzled me.
They were bleached out yellow ones.

They really need to feed the sun.

Do chromophores have anything to do with adrenochrome?

Sunlight attacks the chromophores causing a change to their structure and making the pigment lose its color

Why does sunlight feel the need to attack them?

How long will men of hues be able to maintain their colors?

Without color, will we have Time?

Which points to another mystery concerning the "Yellow" yield sign that everyone claims they still see around.

Yellow yields signs in the US would have to be 48 year old since they stop making them in 1972.

48 years of sun, hail, rain, wind will bleach any paint.

When I was little the Moon was made of cheese...

I'm from Pennsylvania and I clearly remember stop signs being Yellow.

Also, the line down the middle of the road hasn't always been yellow, it used to be white.

With the passage of time comes change.

Cheers!

Yes, but what are the reasons for the change? Must be some sort of reasoning behind it. Maybe it correlates with the indoctrination within schools. So the new batch will feel secure within their cages. Chaos insues for the ones it changed on abruptly. The changes seemed more subtle up until the past 4 yrs.

to quote a famous NY senator...

"at this point what difference does it make?"

Indeed. Who pinned this shit???

Like New Math and no phonics?

Is this not a fact? and did you know it?
