The RUS 026 Yield Sign, imposes a requirement on all approaching traffic to yield. It is generally provided in association with a Yield Line, RRM 018.

The provision of a Yield Sign in preference to a Stop Sign requires that drivers have sufficient visibility of conflicting traffic to judge that it is safe to continue to join or cross that traffic without stopping. The minimum sight line criteria for the provision of Yield Signs at a priority junction for new or improved layouts are specified in Standard NRA TD 41 422 of the National Roads Authoritys Design Manual for Roads and Bridges.
