yield sign

Red-bordered road marker

A yield sign is a triangular traffic sign indicating that drivers must slow down and give the right of way to other vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding.

Unlike a stop sign, it doesn't require a complete halt if the way is clear: She rolled through the yield sign when she saw no cars coming.
