YIELD
California MUTCD, sign R1-2What does the YIELD sign mean?
Slow down and be ready to stop. Let traffic and pedestrians on the road you enter go first (CVC 21803).
How regulatory signs work
They give a rule you must obey. They are rectangular unless the manual names another shape (California MUTCD, section 2B.02); the STOP sign, for example, is an octagon (California Driver’s Handbook, “Laws and Rules of the Road”).
