Talk:Yield sign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of rules about where yield signs are warranted, added by 24.186.211.61, looks like it has come from some manual about designing roadways and should probably have its source cited. It also looks like it applies specifically to some area of the world (the US, maybe?) and probably isn't a universal standard, so it should probably be marked as such. --Pippin 13:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I have checked the American Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 2003 Edition with Revision No. 1 Incorporated, dated November 2004. Some but not all are the same, so I cannot yet add a citation.--Jusjih 15:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Currently in the U.S. yield signs are red & white in color. These signs previously were yellow & black. Does anyone know when the U.S. changed from yellow/black to red/white yield signs and why? Thanks. Bayeast 00:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I realise this is a late answer, and I can't tell you when, but I can hazard a guess at why. Internationally, yellow and black is used for advisory signs, and red and white is used for imperative signs. You must give way at a yield sign, so therefore it is red and white.
