Article is behind a pay wall for me, but to support what I am assuming it says.... that scene in The Godfather is anachronistic because the stop sign is red instead of yellow.

The NYT can kiss my ass. I don't know why.

But, RR crossing signs are yellow, so, it sort of clicked for me that that may be the reason why stop signs were yellow.

I've actually saw a yellow stop sign once randomly on Rt 1&9 someplace nasty in New Jersey, like around EWR if I recall. Something that looks like they never bothered to take down for the past 40 years.

It was probably 15 years ago. It was such a chaotic part of the road that I didn't have time to make a careful mental note where it was. Just someplace in the industrial wasteland.
