Yield Ahead Symbol Signs
The Yield Ahead Symbol sign (MUTCD W3-2) is a crucial traffic control device designed to provide drivers with an early warning that they will soon encounter a yield sign, which will require them to yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Typically positioned in advance of the actual yield sign, this sign features a red and white equilateral triangle with a red border, accompanied by a black arrow on the top of the sign. By alerting motorists to the upcoming yield situation, the Yield Ahead Symbol sign helps to ensure a smooth and safe transition for all road users, promoting better traffic flow and reducing the risk of accidents at intersections or other points where yielding is necessary.

- Sign is manufactured on durable rust-proof .080" aluminum
- Pre-punched 3/8" mounting holes in top and bottom for easy installation.
- Meets M.U.T.C.D. specifications for highway use.
