=== Visibility and caution === Yellow is the most visible color from a distance, so it is often used for objects that need to be seen, such as fire engines, road maintenance equipment, school buses and taxicabs. It is also often used for warning signs, since yellow traditionally signals caution, rather than danger. [[Shades of yellow#Safety yellow|Safety yellow]] is often used for safety and accident prevention information. A yellow light on a traffic signal means slow down, but not stop. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses Pantone 116 (a yellow hue) as their standard color implying "general warning", while the Federal Highway Administration similarly uses yellow to communicate warning or caution on highway signage.<ref name="Yellowtown">{{Cite journal|last=Lewis|first=Karen|year=2010|title=Yellowtown: Urban Signage, Class, and Race|journal=Design and Culture|volume=2|issue=2|pages=183β198|doi=10.2752/175470710X12696138525668|s2cid=143685043}}</ref> A yellow [[penalty card]] in a soccer match means warning, but not expulsion. <gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:Thomas SafTLiner C2 RF.jpg|In North America, school buses such as this one in [[Albemarle County, Virginia]] are required to be painted yellow.
