In parking enforcement, when is a yield sign used?

A yield sign is utilized at points where drivers need to give way to others. This means that when a driver approaches a yield sign, they are required to slow down and yield the right of way to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians, ensuring a safe merging or crossing situation. Yield signs are critical for managing traffic flow, especially at intersections where it may not warrant a full stop sign but still requires caution and consideration for other vehicles or pedestrians.

In contrast, yield signs are not applicable at traffic signals, as traffic lights control the movement of vehicles with clear signals for stopping and going. Similarly, they are not used at intersections where drivers must stop, as that function is reserved for stop signs. Designated parking areas also do not require yield signs, since parking involves a different set of regulations focused on the parking of vehicles rather than the right of way in moving traffic.
