Title: YIELD SIGNS Jeff Sharp, Supervisor of Traffic Operations and Community Safety indicated that there are approximately 40 yield signs throughout the City. Mr. Sharp indicated that his department is looking to submit a staff report by the end of 2022, to change yield signs to stop signs with the explanation that yield signs are not, typically, seen and motorists seem to pay more attention to vehicles at the yield signs and not the pedestrian and cyclist traffic. He further indicated that stop signs are more conducive to areas where pedestrians and cyclists are the primary focus for motorists, as well as making it easier for motorists to navigate the area to see other motorists.
