yield signs

Red-bordered traffic triangles

Yield signs are triangular traffic signs indicating that drivers must slow down and give right-of-way to other vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding.

Unlike stop signs, they don't require a complete halt if the way is clear.

In the US, they're red and white; colors vary internationally.

There's a yield sign at that merge.
