What It Means

An upside-down red-and-white triangle. It's the only road sign in the U.S. that's an inverted equilateral triangle, a shape reserved exclusively for this one meaning. It tells drivers to slow down and let other traffic or pedestrians go first, without necessarily requiring a full stop.

How Rare Is It on Road Sign Hunt?

Common. You'll spot these on almost any drive.

Spotting Tip

Look for these where an on-ramp merges onto a highway, at traffic circles, and at intersections where a minor road meets a busier one.

Fun Fact

The U.S. yield sign started out keystone-shaped in 1950 before the inverted triangle was standardized in the 1954 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The triangle itself was originally yellow — it wasn't switched to today's red until a later update.
