Yield & Stop Here For Pedestrians Signs

Yield & Stop Here For Pedestrians Signs FAQ

What is a Yield Here To Pedestrians sign?

A Yield Here To Pedestrians sign (MUTCD R1-5) is posted in advance of a marked crosswalk to tell drivers to yield, with an arrow pointing to the crosswalk stop/yield line. It is used in states that apply a yield law at crosswalks.

What is a Stop Here For Pedestrians sign?

A Stop Here For Pedestrians sign (MUTCD R1-5b / R1-5c) is posted in advance of a marked crosswalk and tells drivers to stop at the marked line, with an arrow pointing to it. It is used in states that require drivers to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk.

Should I choose STOP or YIELD?

It depends on your state law — use the Stop version in stop-law states and the Yield version in yield-law states. Check your local traffic-engineering standard if you are unsure.

What do the left and right arrows mean?

The arrow points toward the crosswalk stop line. Pick the direction that points from the sign's mounting spot toward the crosswalk — a right arrow when the sign is to the left of the crosswalk, a left arrow when it is to the right.

Where are these crosswalk signs placed?

They mount in advance of an unsignalized marked crosswalk, at the yield or stop line — roadside or as in-street signs — to reinforce where drivers must stop or yield for pedestrians.

Are they MUTCD compliant and what materials are used?

The R1-5 series meets MUTCD specifications for public roads. Signs are made on rust-proof .080-inch aluminum with High Intensity Prismatic or Fluorescent reflective sheeting.
