Perceptions - Part I

This is supposed to make you a better and safer driver, we were told. Please answer the following (no, they aren't trick questions):

What color is a stop sign?

What color is a yield sign?

Please put your two answers in your comment.  Don't worry about what others say - I just want your answer. Tomorrow morning I'll tally the answers and give you the point of the questions.

 

Silly as this may sound - it was a huge lesson to me and I'll use it with my sellers.

The majority answered Yellow, which is what I expected. For 2 out of 5 to get the correct answer was a huge percentage. Congratulations, Jayne and Kimberly, and good for you, Yolanda, to check it out. Yes, the yield sign is red and white.  Neal and Ashley - you answered exactly what I did.  Here's a link to Part II, which is why I think this quiz is so relevant to real estate.

Hi Sharon...I hope I didn't screw that one up:)

Stop sign - Red

Yield sign - Yellow

Unless we are in a foreign county then I guess they might be different. I would also guess you could put up a yield sign and make it purple and people would still "see" a yellow yield sign.

Hello, Sharon!

Stop sign - Red with white outline and lettering.

Yield sign - Yellow (not bright, but orangy) with black outline and lettering.

I'm going to have to run out and drive around to see if I have those right.  LOL

Neal, Ashley, Yolanda and Jayne - I won't make relevant comments until tomorrow so I don't give it away, but I will say that we're talking about the signs here in the USA. As I said, No Tricks.

I might be wrong but I thought both stop sign and yield sign are red and white.  I will be on the look out the next time I leave the house to see.

Uh, I learned my lesson.  It doesn't take away the fact that I'm an excellent driver! LOL

Thanks, Neal, Ashley, Yolanda, Jayne and Kimberly for participating in this. You're good sports. And Jayne and Kimberly - you're far better than the rest of us at really seeing what's around you.

Sharon - interesting. I know (after thinking on it) most of the yield signs are red but there are some older ones that are yellow. I think that since those of us answered yellow grew up seeing those we still think yellow. I think in some rural areas there are still yellow signs. But in the cities I guess red is where it is at. Off to read part II.
