‘Yie|c|',Signs Don'tReverse Right Of Way, ls Decision
SUMMERSIDE — In handing down judgment in a Supreme Court action for damages here, Chief Justic Thane A. Camp-- bell said that “highway Yield signs do not have the legal ef-. fect of reversing the ‘right of E way’ accorded by the statute to the driver approaching on the‘ right."
The Chief Justice added, that 4
“ln law the ‘Yield’ sign is at>““'
best a salutary warning of po-; tential danger and a reminderl that in certain circumstances a driver must yield the right of 1 way and perhaps an intimation‘ to a driver that in view of his? approach to a main highway, it might be safer for him not to insist or rely on the right of
way to which the law entitled him "
The judgment was handed down in an action and counter- action that arose from a colli- sion occurring about 1 em. on Dec. 20. i961, on the main high- way between Summerside and Albany. about one quarter of an milc beyond Central Bedeque. At this point in the: highway there is a bend to thej left, going east. and to the right i is a clay road known as thei Jack Green Road.
The plaintiff was John John- ston, Middleton. who was'driv-‘ ing his 1960 Dodge ton truck, from Summerside towards his 1 home in Middleton, when the de- 3 fendant, Allan Semple, accom-. Willis Mills. both of Clermont,‘ were driving in a 1953 Dodge station wagon. owned by Willis Mills and driven by Allan Sem- ple. The defendants were emerg- ing from the Jack Green Road on to the pavement when the accident occurred. ;
The Chief Justice said “ it is

the right of way to the defen- dants." This is by reason of the Highway Traffic Act, Section 42 (ll which provides ‘When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximate- the same time. the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield right of way to the vehicle on the right, except as otherwise provided in this part (IV)'.'’
A GENERAL DIRECTION
The Chief Justice continued “to me personally a yield right- of-way sign conveys a general direction to yield ' way to traffic approaching not only from the right but also from the left. The plaintiff so understood it." ‘
Later in his judgment the Chief Justice said “it is. per- haps. not important what mean- inz the sign conveys to me per- sonally, or to either of the par- I’-rs. More material is the ques- tion whether the sign is suffi- ciently explicit to convey to the general public. to the reason- able motorist. the meaning which I_ have suggested. or whether
(in. the absence of statutory de- 1‘
f merely emphasizes the necessity of yielding in cer- tain circumstances aslaid down by the act. Assuming the former. I am still confronted with the moie difficult question whether the sign has the authority of the law to direct a variation from the provision of Section
( .
The Chief Justice pointed out there are exceptions such «as ambulances, fire department ve- hicles. police vehicles, but added “t re is no explicit reference to ‘yield’ signs in that part or any portion of the a ."
He stated that, “reliance for

minister of highways ‘to erect and maintain upon provincial highways such traffic control signs and signals as are deem- ed necessary for the safe and expeditious control of traffic.‘ and on sub-2 which makes it an offence for the driver of any ve- hicle or for any pedestrian to fail to comply with any sign or gnai so erected and maintain-
N0 LEGAL AFFECT After citing several examples the C Justice said “I feel bound to conclude that the signs and signals erect- ed by the minister's authority (except in cases explicitly pro- videc by the Act) must be de- claratory of. or supplemental to, the rules laid down by the Act and may not depart from or contradict these rules. On that interpretation,ethe ‘yield right-of-way’ sign on the J a c k Green Road could not have the legal effect of reversing the right of way accorded by the statute to the driver approach- ingh the intersection on the

His Lordship said “Route 1 A. though it is a main travelled highway. was not a through highway at the intersection con- cerned. because the only method by which the minister is auth- orized to designate a through highway is ‘by having stop signs erected’ at entrances.
“The plaintiff therefore had no right to rely on a supposed right-of-way to carry right on as he says he did.”
The Chief Justice stated. “it is the facts of the individual case which determine whether the person unduly relying on his right of way, or the driver
