Figure 3B-14. Examples of Yield Line Layouts
This figure illustrates two examples of yield line layouts.
Notes state that "triangle height is equal to 1.5 times the
base dimension. Yield lines may be smaller than suggested when installed
on much narrower, slow-speed facilities such as shared-use paths."
The figure shows examples (a) and (b):
- Example (a) is labeled "minimum dimensions." The figure
shows a row of six solid white isosceles triangles. The base of
each is shown as a dimension of 300 mm (12 in) wide, and the height
of each is shown as a dimension of 450 mm (18 in) long, spaced
75 to 300 mm (3 to 12 in) apart.
- Example (b) is labeled "maximum dimensions." The figure
shows a row of four solid white isosceles triangles. The base
of each is shown as a dimension of 600 mm (24 in) wide, and the
height of each is shown as a dimension of 900 mm (36 in) long,
spaced 75 to 300 mm (3 to 12 in) apart. The pavement is shown
as a dimension of 3.7 m (12 ft) wide. A black arrow shows the
direction of travel, which is toward the points of the triangles.
