Title: STOP VERSUS YIELD SIGNS ON LOW-VOLUME RURAL ROADS
Accession Number: 00680751
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Although research concerning Yield sign installation has been conducted in urban or suburban settings, Yield signs are prolific in rural areas. Rural areas generally have higher speed limits, low traffic volumes, and unlimited visibility. The use of Yield signs would seem to be ideal. However, the large number of accidents resulting in fatalities and serious injuries suggests that some other factors are at work in the rural areas. Because of the committed zone of the driver's vision, it is recommended that Yield signs be restricted to use on roadways with speed limits of 50 kph (30 mph) or less.
