Seems that all of our yellow residential \YIELD/ signs have been replaced with STOP signs. Another impedimento traffic flow causing more fuel use, exhaust pollution and brake wear. (Of course, if a collision, responding vehicles negate all of the savings.)

In areas where yield signs have been replaced with stop signs it’s usually due to “traffic calming” , ie if no one can move there can’t be car crashes. BTW, China has almost no stop signs in the areas I’ve been and they seem better at merging than we do. Also better at horn honking and bulling thei…

When visiting my wife’s hometown in China, as a former (AAA) driver instructor in college, I observed and videoed Chinese drivers. Drivers’ attitude appears to be ‘I am here first. You find your way around.’ Example: Woman taxi driver parks in the two-lane wide entrancexit of the train station. …

[image] Robert-Gift: If there is a STOP sign, when turning right you do not stop. Unfortunately, that isn’t unique to China. In The US, “right turn on red following a full stop” almost always seems to be interpreted as “right turn at all times, without even slowing down”.

I don’t think I have ever seen a yellow yield sign in my city. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We have “free flow lanes” or “weave zones” [image] Which I guess can be a yield in a way if you need over right away instead of driving in that lane to try and get over you just wait for an opening a…

I’m 50 years old and in my driving life on the west coast and Montana I don’t ever recall seeing a yield sign that wasn’t a red and white triangle.

Besto assign right of way so drivers do not stop trying to figure out who is to go and who is to yield. For years it waso nice driving through residential areas not having to stop when you could easily see no one was approaching the intersection.

You should try driving in Florida after a hurricane. Traffic lights are out and then the intersections are to be treated as a four way stop. Seems many drivers are clueless about four way stop rules.

Oh no, we need them :joy: There’s individuals that don’t know how a traffic circle(round-a-bout) works and that has a yield sign at every entrance lmao

Any yellow \YIELD/ signs still out there?
