A yield sign is a regulatory traffic sign that instructs drivers to slow down and, if necessary, stop to allow other road users (vehicles and pedestrians) the right-of-way before proceeding. Characterized by its inverted triangle shape, the sign has a red border, a white background, and prominently displays the word "YIELD." It signals the requirement to assess and yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, ensuring safe passage. The primary goal of a yield sign is to facilitate a smooth flow of traffic at intersections without stop signals, ensuring that drivers give precedence to others.
It's a regulatory sign. At a yield sign, drivers must slow down.
If a yield line is painted on the pavement,
the drivers must yield the right-of-way before crossing the yield line. The drivers may proceed only after yielding and only when it’s safe to do so.
Yield (verb): To give up (an advantage, for example) to another; concede.
