There is a traffic control sign
for this condition (a yield
sign in the background). But
there will be two trucks, both
of them loaded and traveling
uphill in the same direction.
The problem with this yield
sign is with two paths (two
roads) and trucks pulling up,
which one’s going to yield to
which side? The
interpretation has been left up
to the drivers and that’s not
what should be done. A sign
is needed that everybody
understands and interprets the
same way. If the right side
should yield to the left side, a
sign is needed that tells that, |
| or some other means of communicating that intention. Don’t leave the interpretation of the traffic pattern up to the drivers. Also, many companies have rules that “loaded trucks have right-of-way.” Such rules don’t work in this case because both trucks are loaded. And being accustomed to having the right-of-way when loaded, if neither one yields, an accident would occur. |
