YIELD Pavement Word Marking
White 'YIELD' painted on the lane warns drivers to slow and give right-of-way ahead, often paired with yield triangles.
The word 'YIELD' painted in white on the pavement supplements a Yield sign by reinforcing that drivers must slow down, be prepared to stop, and give right-of-way to cross traffic, pedestrians, or merging vehicles ahead. It is typically used on approaches to roundabouts, channelized turn lanes, or intersections where sight lines make the overhead sign easy to miss, and is often accompanied by a row of white yield triangles (shark's teeth) across the lane.
