Which shape and colour combination identifies a yield sign in Ontario?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C. Triangle with white background and red border, pointing downward
The downward-pointing triangle with a red border is reserved exclusively for yielding — its shape makes it recognizable at a distance and in poor visibility. Each regulatory-sign family has a distinct shape (octagon = stop, triangle = yield, circle = railway) so drivers can respond even before reading any text.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Red octagon with white letteringRed octagon with white lettering describes a stop sign, not a yield sign; these two signs have distinct shapes for quick recognition.
- B.Yellow diamond with black symbolYellow diamond signs are warning signs (curve, merge, slippery when wet, etc.), not regulatory; yield signs are triangles with red borders.
- D.Rectangle with green background and white textGreen rectangular signs are information signs (route markers, exit numbers, distances) not regulatory yield signs.
