Stop line in Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan Give Way lines in the UK "Shark's teeth" yield lines (white isosceles triangles) as used in the US and many European countries. Stop and yield lines [1] are transverse road surface markings that inform drivers where they should stop or yield when approaching an intersection.
These bars are typically 12 to 24 inches (300 to 610 mm) wide and are set 12 to 24 inches (300 to 610 mm) apart. Crosswalks can use a combination of two parallel white lines and continental stripes to create a "ladder" crosswalk, which is highly visible. [1] [4] A sign warning motorists to yield to those crossing the crosswalk
Yield signs can be blank or have text with the legend "YIELD" or "GIVE WAY" depending on which country it is. The No Entry / Do Not Enter sign may or may not feature text. In Ireland, an upwards-pointing arrow contained within a slashed red circle is used instead. Some countries have those two signs separated.
The second topic of interest was, "How does a motorist yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk with two lanes of traffic in the same direction in a way that is safe for both the pedestrian and driver?"
Vehicles must yield to any pedestrians still in the crosswalk. If the crosswalk is clear they may proceed after coming to a full stop. Once the pedestrian crossing phase comes to an end, the countdown indicator reaches "0", and the pedestrian signal changes back to the non-flashing upraised hand (don't walk).
In Ireland, the yield sign reads yield in most areas, although in Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) areas the text is géill slí ("yield right of way" [7]) instead. [8] [9] Signs erected between 1962 and 1997 read yield right of way, [10] which remains legally permitted. [9] Signs 1956–1962 had a blank white interior. [11]
In case of the signs that cancel specific restrictions the symbol is grey and crossed out by thick black diagonal line. Mandatory signs (znaki nakazu; type C) – circular, with a white symbol on blue background. The exception is C-17 sign (mandatory direction for vehicles carrying dangerous materials) which is placed on white rectangular board.
A stop line is always represented by a white thick traversal continuous line, but a give way line may be represented by a white thick dashed line as rectangles (Germany, France, Spain) or by a double-dashed line (United Kingdom) or by a white line of triangles (Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland).
