[Ans] From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?"

Yes, yellow was the standard color for stop signs for nearly 30 years. In fact, the red stop sign has only been the standard for the last 60 years.

This change also served to distinguish the regulatory stop sign from yellow warning signs, and also made the color consistent with that of red traffic signal indications, which for decades had used red to signal "stop".
