Shark's teeth are not typically painted on road surfaces to identify yielding points. The term "shark's teeth" refers to a specific road marking pattern that resembles the shape of shark's teeth, consisting of a series of triangular markings pointing in the direction of travel. These markings are often painted on the road to indicate priority or right-of-way, particularly at intersections or junctions.
Shark's teeth markings are commonly used to designate a yield line or yield zone, indicating that drivers approaching the marked area must yield or give way to vehicles or pedestrians already on the main road or in the intersection. The purpose of these markings is to provide clear visual guidance and help promote safe and efficient traffic flow.
While there are various road markings and symbols used to communicate traffic rules and regulations, the term "shark's teeth" specifically refers to the triangular markings used for yielding or giving way, rather than being associated with the identification of yielding points.
