Triangular signs mean

Some triangle signs have no text or image, but communicate exclusively with shape and color. A reflective orange triangle sign, for example, appears on the rear of certain vehicles to indicate speed of 35 mph or less. These signs are often seen on farming or road work equipment and are even used for horse-drawn carriages. In the daytime the sign appears to be solid orange, whereas at night it looks like a hollow red triangle.

It’s good for drivers to know the meanings of all road signs they encounter, especially triangle road signs with red as a complete border or background. Contact Zumar at our Arizona, California or Washington location to learn more about appropriate designs for road signs.

Due to sign shape, which limits the amount of text that is displayed, many triangular signs just use black images of road configurations. Some of the most common include the following:

There are several reasons why the owner of a dog might post a ‘Beware of Dog’ sign on their property. The sign – typically written in bold black and white lettering – may be hung as a deterrent, scaring off potential intruders. In other cases, owners may hang the sign to warn visitors of the dog’s presence. Finally, these signs are posted by owners of aggressive dogs to absolve themselves of liability in the case of a dog attack. Dogs can be a very beneficial tool for protecting property. Criminals and other unwanted visitors are oftentimes less likely to trespass on someone’s land if there is a dog around. Unfortunately, this means that dogs sometimes attack well-meaning people. Even when a ‘Beware of Dog’ sign is posted, this can mean the owner bears some liability. If you see one of these signs when visiting an unfamiliar piece of property, take it seriously. Choosing to ignore this warning is a foolish move, as the signs are typically not posted as a prank. However, if you are attacked and suffer injuries as a result, that warning may not offer the owner the legal protection they anticipate. Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, was recently retained by a UPS driver who was attacked by a pack of pit bulls while making a delivery in Puyallup. In the police report, the property owner is quoted as saying that ‘Beware of Dog’ or ‘No Trespassing’ signs were posted on his property. The man also stated that, “insurance companies don’t like ‘Beware of Dog’ signs as that shows they know they have dangerous dogs and it is a liability.” The following is an excerpt from the police report:  “(The property owner) states there was a yellow plastic diamond sign on the driveway gate and now it is gone. He states it was there yesterday. It said, ‘Beware of bad ass dogs’ or something to that effect. We looked for the sign but we couldn’t find it….I thought it was interesting he is now telling about a sign posted when earlier he stated that a sign would show liability and their insurance company, Farmers (insurance) could possibly cancel the insurance policy.”

If you own a dog that has ever caused a severe injury on a person or other domestic animal, Washington State law requires you to post a prominent sign on your property warning people of the dangerous dog. You are also required to display a warning symbol of some sort warning children of the dog. Dog owners are responsible for their dogs. If someone is legally on a piece of property, there is no just cause for a dog attacking them. Washington State’s dog bite law applies regardless of whether the dog has a history of vicious behavior, which is an important distinction. If you or someone you know has been injured in a dog bite attack, you probably have questions regarding your case. Attorney Chris Davis of the Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers is considered by many to be the best dog bite lawyer in Washington state.

In many cases, triangular signs point upward to indicate various warning messages besides yield, whereas when an equalateral triangle points downward it specifically means Yield. Road sign messages, shapes and colors are determined by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). An isosceles triangle that points to the right, exclusively means you are entering a no passing zone.

Almost all of these triangular signs have a thick red border surrounding the text or image on a white background. Black imagery is common, but sometimes color is added, such as for the image of a stop light with red, yellow and green lights.

In the U.S. red signs, or signs with red borders, indicate that they are regulatory and must be obeyed. Yellow, on the other hand, indicates a warning to advise drivers to stay alert, but does not mandate any type of driver action. So a red Yield sign means you must slow down and yield the right of way to traffic, whereas a yellow Yield sign is an advisory. These signs are commonly placed near intersections, freeway entrances or exits.

Can you guess a road sign’s message from far away by its shape? Perhaps after years of driving you have subconsciously become accustomed to the fact that triangular signs are used for warnings of potential hazards ahead. Here are some important facts about triangle road signs and what they mean to drivers.
