Yield Ahead Symbol Signs

SKU# W3-2
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.
