Tulsa is where the Yield Sign was invented. This one is the very first one ever.
It is on display at the Tulsa History Museum. Under heavy guard. Don’t even try and touch it.
For other yellows from all over check out Mellow Yellow Monday.

Great post!

@Britgal Sarah – My best Brit sign is “Way Out” instead of “Exit.”
Thanks for this little piece of interesting history!
I never knew that…very cool info!
Great post .. and the same with the color!
I did not know this. Neat fact.
I love these piece of trivia! I had no idea. Can’t wait to look smart with that one!
