The way people tend to drive around here you would think a yield sign was red & had 8 sides.

Boy around here on the freeway a lot of people totaly ignore the yeild sign. They just pull onto the freeway, totally ignore you forcing you to either slow way down or move over to the left lane if you are able too. They are suppose to merge into the traffic!!
I said yellow for the sign. I was surprised that it can also be red. Have to pay attention to the colors when I go out on the roads.

Yep, the official answer is RED. I argued the whole time i was in line at some store last year with this lady that swore the yield sign was red and I knew it was yellow. Everyone I ask says yellow as well. It is a cool brain tweaster. heehee. Hope we all learned something. :D ;)

I even work at a sign company as a production artist and got it wrong. Just as clicked on yellow and submit I realized I made a mistake.

That show how much sign guys really look at the signs that they building.

Down here in Florida we have enough problems with traffic signs without worrying about what color they are? :whistle:

Hear the old joke?
One driver hits another driver. The first one says "Didn't you see the yield sign?"
The second one says "I yield as loud as I could, but you didn't hear me."
Corny, yes I know.
The gooney bird always flies backwards because it wants to see where it's been, not where it's going. It doesn't care where it's going as long as it gets to where it went.

I am proud to say that Tulsa Oklahoma is the birth place of the yield sign. The first one appeared here, and the rest is history!

Originally here they were yellow.
Keep smiling!

Yellow stop signs were first posted in the mid-1920s, and although white-on-red was established in 1954, yellow stop signs were still used well into the 1960s

I voted yellow the word alone in my mind brings up a causion sign which is also odd shapped. Now I am beginning to see here in California they are putting bright green around the edges to you see the signs.

So... for those of us who answered yellow, did they USED to be yellow? I see a few yellow ones in the Flikr gallery that NightCap posted.

And the CORRECT answer wasn't available - red & white. I still see the occasional yellow one.
