California stops are weird. If you're ok with a car just slowing down and yielding to traffic if necessary, why not use a "Yield" sign instead of a "Stop" sign

California stops are weird.
If you're ok with a car just slowing down and yielding to traffic if necessary, why not use a "Yield" sign instead of a "Stop" sign?
We have "yield" signs for entry onto highways and roundabouts, for example, where the goal is to keep traffic moving.
- kjkjadksj 5y agoBecause based on my experience most people don’t yield at yield signs in ca, and prefer to try and outgun whoever is not letting them in than back off. Sounds like a good way to me to increase the number of accidents at 4 way stops.
- mig39 5y agoYeah, 4-way stops definitely need a stop sign. Or better yet, turn 4-way stops into roundabouts.
- metabagel 5y agoCalifornia isn’t OK with it. Police routinely ticket vehicles which perform a rolling stop. The police aren’t everywhere, so you could get away with it for a while, but eventually you’ll probably do it in front of a police car and be cited.
