Out here in California we have these awesome new Yield and Stop signs. The new improved yield signs are Octaganol, red and say 'Stop' but many seem to think that is merely a suggestion.

Many people seem to think this is an opertunity to halt forward motion and meditate on this strange object while trying to figure out if it's their turn to go or not.
