I <br />1 <br />Yield Sign Warrant Investigation <br />1 Intersection: <br />1 Analyzed by: Study Date: <br />The YIELD sign assigns the right -of -way to traffic on certain approaches to an <br />intersection. Vehicles controlled by a YIELD sign need stop only when necessary <br />to avoid interfering with conflicting traffic. <br />' The Yield sign may be installed: <br />A. When the ability to see all potentially conflicting traffic <br />is sufficient to allow a road user traveling at the posted <br />speed, the 85th percentile speed, or the statutory speed <br />to pass through the intersection or to stop in a safe manner. <br />B. If controlling a merge -type movement on the entering road- <br />way where acceleration geometry and/or sight distance is <br />not adequate for merging traffic operation. <br />C. At the second crossroad of a divided highway, where the <br />median width is 9 m (30 ft) or greater. A STOP sign may <br />be installed at the entrance to the first roadway of a divided <br />highway, and a YIELD sign may be installed at the entrance <br />to the second roadway. <br />D. At an intersection where a special problem exists and where <br />engineering judgement indicates the problem to be suscept- <br />ible to correction by the use of the YIELD sign. - <br />Reference: MUTCD, Mill enium edition, Section 2B.08 and 2B.09 <br />
