The most abundant road sign type in America.

Yield has to be common though for intersections.

A lot of places where a yield sign could be used (e.g. right turn slips) don't have signage. Probably brings the number down.

Eight street blades? At most intersections I encounter, there are two of them. In exceptional circumstances there might be four. Only really huge intersections generally have more.

Around hear, on occasion, at signalized intersections, you'll get one per traffic light direction (4) plus a set or two of free standing ones. That makes 6-8.

But speed limit signs could outpace these because there is often one per direction per block, plus freeways have them and not (usually) blades or stop signs. Of course smaller residential neighborhoods without speed limit signs may counterbalance that.

I discovered an example with 8 street signs this weekend, I just never thought of it until I saw this post: Division Street at State Street in Dover, Delaware.  Division Street is the north/south divide for streets and State Street is the east/west divide, so technically each leg of the intersection is a "different" street.

EDIT: Another example in Dover is US-13 at MLK Boulevard with 12 street signs for a four-way intersection.  There are four on the stoplight mast arms (one for each leg), then there four signs (two for US-13, two for MLK - noting there are separate signs instead of double sided signs) for the medians for both sides of MLK Boulevard.

If that's true in your state, then I want to move there.

Mississippi loves the yield sign, although they place it upon channelized right turns, where most states would just put stop signs (or nothing at all). Lots of two-lane roads where MDOT likes to facilitate truck and/or free-flowing traffic, because there's lots of 90-degree bends on the state system.

I notice more T-intersections that meet up against a cul-de-sac at one end, also get a fair number of yield signs, but this is scattered usage.

I wouldn't say they're that common, but maybe near the bottom of a top-10 standard sign list.

Stop signs by a wide margin. I also see a bunch of yield and do not enter signs. One way signs are common in Boston to.
