Yield Signs
MUTCD Yield signs tell drivers to slow down and give the right of way to traffic or pedestrians, stopping if necessary. Rice Signs offers the standard R1-2 Yield sign — a red-and-white inverted triangle — along with Yield Ahead warning signs for advance notice, in permanent (W3-2) and work-zone orange (W3-2C) versions. All are built on rust-proof .080" aluminum with reflective sheeting options.
