What shape forms the yield line across a lane?

Explanation:
Yield lines across a lane are formed by triangles. The white triangles break up the lane with a clear, repeating pattern that drivers can spot quickly, signaling them to slow and yield to traffic on the cross street or merging lane. The pointed sides face the approaching drivers, which creates a strong directional cue—a quick, universal way to communicate the need to give way. Other shapes aren’t used for this purpose because they don’t provide the same immediate, directional message; circles, squares, or diamonds serve different signaling roles in road markings.
