Anyone here recognize this one?

Picked this up off the 'Bay.  I remember signs like this back in the 60s...i keep thinking maybe the New York or New Jersey areas had these, but my memory is pretty dim about that.....

Anyone remember them?

Looks like it must have been somewhat nonstandard for its time–whenever that was. Yield wasn't added to the MUTCD until 1954, at which time it was yellow.

It was carried over that way until 1971 when it was replaced with the sign we have today. Richard Moeur reports that some states used a nonstandard keystone-shaped sign–some adding "RIGHT OF WAY" beneath the word "YIELD", but that would have been during the yellow sign era.

Excerpt further down in the above-Richard Moeur's report:

...others added the text "RIGHT OF WAY" in the space below the YIELD legend. (in reference to the yellow YIELD signs)

Years ago, I've saw some of the old-school yellow triangular YIELD signs with the words RIGHT OF WAY in smaller print underneath the YIELD in Marblehead, MA until about the mid-1980s.

There's one in Amsterdam, NY coming in my next update (under Montgomery Co.)

I have a rather odd yellow yield sign. It's normal shape, but what's odd is that the words "YIELD" and "RIGHT OF WAY" are the same size.

the only place I've seen a red trapezoid is New York... it may be the one Steve is alluding to.

New York also has red STOP/DEAD END signs, which is interesting since the color change (1954) is after the forbidding of extra verbiage (1948).

Thanks for that confirmation, Steve....i somehow KNEW i saw them many years ago but i coudnt remember where exactly....

It's bent as hell, but a nice, as well as unusual YIELD....
