That's interesting.

In Denmark the minor/major road is marked using "yield" signs drawn on the road:

As it also in in Britain:

or like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@53.4030975,-2.1705867,3a,75y,34...

From memory, that's also the case in several other European countries.



Oh, that's cool.

I guess the reason we don't rely on road marks so much is that they're covered by snow & ice half the year. That plus frost heaving & constant snow plowing & studded tyres are very effective at erasing the road markings.
