Figure 3B-15. Examples of Yield Lines at Unsignalized Midblock Crosswalks

This figure illustrates two examples of yield lines at unsignalized midblock crosswalks. A legend shows a black arrow indicating the direction of travel in the lanes.

The figure shows two horizontal roadways, examples (a) and (b):

• Example (a) shows a two-way roadway. The figure shows a roadway with two lanes traveling in each direction, with opposing directions separated by a solid double yellow line. The lanes in the same direction are separated from each other by a broken white line. In the middle of the figure is a crosswalk denoted by two parallel solid white lines crossing all approaching lanes. On both sides of the crosswalk, a square "Yield Here to Pedestrians" symbol sign is shown adjacent to the right side of the roadway in advance of the crosswalk. On both sides of the crosswalk, a yield line of solid white isosceles triangles is shown across the approach lanes where the sign is placed. The distance from each sign and yield line to the crosswalk is shown as a dimension of 6.1 to 15 m (20 to 50 ft).
• Example (b) shows a one-way roadway. The figure shows a roadway with three eastbound lanes separated from each other by a broken white line. In the middle of the figure is a crosswalk denoted by two parallel solid white lines crossing all lanes of the roadway. In advance of the crosswalk, a "Yield Here to Pedestrians" symbol sign is shown adjacent to the left and to the right side of the roadway. A yield line of solid white isosceles triangles is shown across the three lanes where the signs are placed. The distance from the signs and yield line to the crosswalk is shown as a dimension of 6.1 to 15 m (20 to 50 ft).
