In Texas, the California stop is also known as an Okie yield sign, an Okie crash sign, and a taxpayer stop. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “More Names for Rolling Stops”
A couple more examples of what they call rolling stops in Texas. Diana says there they call it an Oaky yield sign. Classic rivalry coming out, Oklahoma versus Texas, right? Right. And she says her husband is also a fan of Oaky crash sign. Oh no, I can’t be right.
And then Lynette in Dallas Fort Worth says she calls it a taxpayer stop. I guess that means that if you’re a taxpayer, you can just roll right through there, she writes. I guess. I hope not. You should stop. You really should.
