I recently found myself needing one of these graphics for a map that I&#8217;m working on, and while it&#8217;s easy to find small <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Raster_graphics\">raster<\/a> (PNG, GIF, etc) versions online I was unable to easily locate a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vector_graphics\">vector<\/a> copy, much less one that had a license allowing free reuse. So, I made one myself and it&#8217;s available as public domain for anyone to reuse.<\/p>\n<p>This graphic, as seen above, can be downloaded from <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/files\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign_v1.eps\">here<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Encapsulated_PostScript\">EPS<\/a> format: <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/files\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign_v1.eps\"><tt>mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign_v1.eps<\/a><\/tt><\/p>\n<p>In making this logo I used cyclist, hiker, and equestrian graphics <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/hfc\/carto\/map-symbols.htm\">provided by the National Park Service as part of their Map Symbols for NPS Maps<\/a>. Being released in October 2011 these are as up to date as possible. Curiously, these symbols have just one symbol for &#8220;Bicycle Path&#8221; which seems to combine all cycling routes under one symbol.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this artwork (<a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/files\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign\/mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign_v1.eps\"><tt>mtb_trail_courtesy_yield_sign_v1.eps<\/a><\/tt>, MD5 checksum <tt>4aac401c347b80675a673e756a604480<\/tt>) to be free of known copyright restrictions and I am thereby releasing it into the public domain. If this artwork is reused elsewhere a citation (to Steve Vigneau \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\">nuxx.net<\/a>) would be appreciated, but it is not necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In mountain biking literature it&#8217;s common to find graphics which replicate a yield sign and indicate that, as a courtesy while riding trails, cyclists&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2012\/01\/09\/public-domain-mountain-bike-trail-courtesy-yield-sign\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Public Domain Mountain Bike Trail Courtesy Yield Sign<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,11,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cycling","category-making-things","category-outdoors","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4003"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4015,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4003\/revisions\/4015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
