And, buddy route w/a 78 y/o man who said the white signs w/black lettering were the only legal signs… the others, yellow with black lettering were ‘suggested’ signs!?!?
I DID speak up to both drivers & explained the laws, as I was the sitting duck in the passenger seat. Told the 78 y/o ‘pretend signs’ are not posted on roadways…
Not "suggested signs" and not "pretend signs" but also not "regulator signs." Signs with yellow background are "Warning Signs" according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
