Notes;
Triangle height Is equal to
1.5 times the, base dimension,
Yield lines may be srnaller than
suiggested when Installed on much
narrower, slow -speed facilities such
as shared -use paths.
07 Vield lines (see Figure 311-16) shalt consist of row of solid white isosceles triangles pointing toward
approaching vehicles extending acrossapproach lanes to indicate the pointat w1flch the)1eld is intended or
required to be inade.
Guidance:
Ce Stop lines should be 12 to 24 inches ivide,
09 The individual triangles coniprising (heyield line should have a base of 12 to 24 inches wide, and a height
eqrial to 1.5 tunes the base. The space bettiven the triangles should be 3 to 12 inches.
10 If used, stop and yield lines should be placed a mininnon of 4jeet in advance of the nearest crossivalk h?w at
controlled intersections,, exceptforyield lines atroundabouts as provided for• in Section 3C.04 and at midblock
crossivalks. A the absence of a inarked crossivalk, the stop line or yield line should be placed at the desired
