      Who do you think writes the MUTCD, deciding which signage and road markings carry the force of law and which don’t (i.e. which are ‘regulatory’ and which are ‘advisory’)? Who do you think decides to use a particular type of signage and marking in a particular situation?

      This was 100% on the engineer, who specified a design inappropriate for the situation.

          For the amusement of the rest of us, I’d love if you explained who you think writes building codes, electrical codes, municipal street codes, etc etc

          What he’s saying is “the traffic engineers decided to use a flashing yellow indicator, which means nothing and carries no legal force, over a traditional stoplight or flashing red, which would require yielding.” Intersections, like every mile of roadway, are designed and signed off on somewhere by some engineer.
