Talk:Yield sign

message: 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)

text: 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.

message: The 'Japan (alternative)' sign is a stop sign - the characters read 'tomare'. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Japan
I think Japan is unique in having a triangular stop sign. Apparently they stopped using the octagon in the 60s.
I confess I have never seen the first sign (and cannot read the kanji) but will have t assume it is an (uncommon) give way sign.

replies: text: The red triangle indeed means stop by itself, and the other triangle means "slow down" by itself. The plate below each sign means "yield/give way". I have sources for this. Fry1989 eh? 01:18, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

text: Ok. I think I see your point. The 'alternative' one is only to be interpreted as give way/yield if it is accompanied by the second rectangular sign? 1bj05hua (talk) 03:27, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, only with the rectangular sign below it. This is according to the Japanese=language article. Fry1989 eh? 03:34, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

message: In the UK part it says : In some other parts of Europe,.....  I would suggest "In the most parts of Europe,...." as in my opinion this is more the case then in some other parts.

thread_title: TEXT change?

message: Why is the clause "which has been noted mainly by teachers of the English language" in the following sentence?
"With the pole, the overall shape is that of the "Y" in YIELD, which has been noted mainly by teachers of the English language."
Who cares about "teachers of the English language," particularly in reference to a Yield sign?  There's no source and the clause adds nothing of value to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.28.69 (talk) 21:31, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Different directives seem to be in use in China, Taiwan, and (if it's kanji) Japan (and why does Japan use an additional text box?). Could someone add translations in the article or below the images? Much appreciated. knoodelhed (talk) 12:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: China uses Simplified Chinese characters while Hong Kong and Taiwan use Traditional Chinese characters. The sign in Japan's blue characters mean "slow", but the text box below it changes the meaning of the sign to "Give Way". Fry1989 eh? 19:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

message: It seems strange that the main image on the page is such an old image, wouldn't a modern sign like File:Away from home (530006342).jpg be better? On holiday dmartin969 05:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I would like to point out that Germany already had a yield sign before 1938. The yield sign was introduced in 1934. It was a downward pointing white triangle with a red border (we still use this in Germany) . France used to have the same shape but yellow with a dark blue/black border.

text: Oppose per WP:RETAIN and the results of the previous two discussions. It's been almost 9 years and almost 10 years since those discussions, and nothing of note has changed that should cause us to reevaluate the tilting of an article that has been stable for over 17 years.
