Traffic signs in Ireland
I was in Dublin at the weekend and noticed that the 'give way' sign (red triangle on a white background) over there has the word "yield" written in it.
More confusing, though, was that sometimes, under the word "yield", "right of way" was written under "yield" in smaller letters.
What does this mean? You have right of way but you have to give way?
According to the traffic signs, when the president comes out of his house in Phoenix Park, he has to "yield". The US ambassador, who lives over the road, has to "stop".
