In the United States, a red-and-white triangular YIELD sign requires drivers to give way.
A driver approaching the sign must slow to a safe speed and yield to traffic and pedestrians with the right of way. A complete stop is required only when necessary to yield safely, unlike at a stop sign, where stopping is mandatory.
The inverted triangle is internationally associated with yielding. The United States adopted the modern red-and-white YIELD design in the twentieth century, replacing earlier yellow versions. The sign is often placed at intersections, roundabouts, ramp terminals, and merging points.
